That's what I think is the myth Charlie. I don't think it is to do with the vacuum shut off valve on the IP at all.
I'm sorry to be a pain in the arse - it is one of my little hobbies to not necessarily go along with common belief. I've suggested an alternative explanation in that thread that I gave a link for. I could be wrong (and if I see enough evidence I'll own up and say so) but it is a particularly dangerous thing to test; I'm trying to think of a safer way of doing it =>
@everyone - please be careful when trying this little experiment. You could be lucky - but if you are not you can blow out a seal which in turn could result in serious oil loss which could then really ruin your day.
