I'm not going to aggravate myself arguing with these guys. You are correct and I have been servicing all of my OM617 and M117 engines this way for years. There MAY be some MB engines where the dipstick tube suction method will not work but I am not aware of them.
I always get 7+ quarts of oil out and removal of the drain plug may show one or two drips.
