There shouldn't be uncertainty though Tom, honestly you should know if you've got the air out. I've used various methods, it doesn't matter as long as the end result is brakes that work 
. To be fair, Darren's method is pretty foolproof (which can only bode well for you 
)
This is obviously how most people operate... but when you're on a car forum (or pretty much any forum for that matter) you need to be open minded as there's going to be people with knowledge that you may not be familiar with. Just because someone has a different way, doesn't mean it's wrong because YOU haven't heard of it.
I feel this may be what you should have thought with the advice in this thread?
Again, just because you can't see it doesn't make it wrong. I've never used this method, but didn't automatically brand it as "cowboy" and I can see how it would work perfectly. I've used the old fashioned method, the kits and the professorial equipment, doesn't mean I'd discard a new way...
Again I'd advise not to argue with Ripp... and note he never said (bash) he said "love tap". Just take your own advice and let others "pass on" their experience and knowledge.

Like the way ya do other things for years because you have been taught thats the right thing to do.
