And you don't even need a pressure bleeder if you are gravity bleeding... or using the 2 person method. More money savings. I have a vacuum bleeder ($30) but still prefer the 2 person method when possible.

Also agree about it being a little reckless to post a thread title like the above... especially without any scientific evidence to back it up.
That is true as well. The 2 person method is the cheapest, but sometimes it can be tricky to get a second set of hands, or feet in this case, to help out. I have had mity vac vacuum bleeders in the past and they worked great, they have just never lasted very long even with proper cleaning. I have been meaning to buy a pressure bleeder to replace my defunct vac one.
