The Mathematica Cookbook has an example:

   array = RandomReal[{0, 10}, 20]
   Table[List @@ array[[i ;; i + 1]], {i, 1, 16}]

I'm new to Mathematica, but to me, the "List @@" seems redundant.  The
statements give the same results if I remove it.  Is there a reason
for this, either functionally or for clarity?
