Not relevant.

We were discussing pushing the pads back and allowing the fluid in the caliper to exit the bleed screw rather than be forced up the lines back to the m/c.

Oh, and BTW, I can bleed any caliper without a bleeder attachment and a check valve, by myself, by simply performing the process you described: press on the brake and take your foot off the brake. Repeat. No air will enter the system. Guaranteed.
