Default Reverse Clutch bleed

Have anyone seen this video and this method of "bleeding" the clutch line? It seems to make sense only thing would be requiring someone at the top helping you scope the reservoir for spillage and bubbles. Any thoughts?

You would still need to (IMO) unbolt the slave, point the rear of it (the bleeder) upwards and push the piston all the way in.

it would work, maybe...there still a pocket of air in the slave that the fluid would pass and not push out because it is sitting in a high point.

I think its a waste of time when it comes to the s2k. The slave is super easy to unbolt. By the time you even find you keys to go to the hardware store and get a clean can, you'd be done already with a simple gravity bleed.
