Air in towel radiator

There have been numerous posts about air collecting in towel rails, is it because the top(s) of the towel rails are generally higher than any other rad top(s)?.
Seems plausible to me. Another, not mutually exclusive, possibilty is that the towel-rail design means that a relatively small amount of air results in a cold 'top rail' and people notice this when they put the towel on or take it off.
