The main problem I have had with that method is that air gets pulled
in around the threads of the loosened bleed screw -- so I would
continue to get some small bubbles even after the line was fully bled.

I think some use teflon on the bleed screw threads to stop that but I
wasn't too happy trying that so I went back to the pedal-pusher
method.
