Not true....you looesen that bleeder 1/4 turn or more in excess of whats needed to pass brake fluid and it WILL suck air on the return stroke of the brake pedal....I know becasue it has happended to me...and I proved thats what it was....very same principle behind why you can have a air leak on a fuel line and still not leak fuel.
