I discovered the "long press on home" by accident after a month or two of owning an Android phone, by being distracted into not raising my finger quickly enough to complete a regular press.

Being an analytical person, I then wondered what long taps on other buttons would do, and discovered the "long press on search to bring up voice search".

But I could see other people never discovering the difference that a long tap can make.
