A simple contradiction is not going to sway my opinion. I could see how it could promote air to leave the system vertically, but any trapped air is only going to get compressed lower down the line and within the slave cylinder. There's a reason hydraulic systems have bleed valves, after all.

If you can explain your contradiction; I am all ears.

I haven't contradicted myself. Air is going to go to the lowest pressure in the system. If the system is closed then the master reservoir is the point with the least air pressure.

Pumping gets most of the air out, but not all. In any case I'm not here to convince people who know less. When your master starts leaking and you lose the fluid in your reservoir, I want you to remember this post. It'll keep you from getting stranded.

I never said you contradicted yourself. You contradicted what I said, thus I stated your contradiction would not sway my opinion. I hope that's cleared up.

I requested evidence to backup your claim. Your response lacked any rhetoric, was extremely condescending, and it says a lot more about you than I have any interest in furthering my unwilling knowledge of. Good day.

There's evidence in this very post here, showing that pumping the clutch pedal can work air out of the system. I don't even bother bleeding the clutch when I replace the fluid, and I have had a similar experience. Fluid dumped out of my leaking master, I refilled it, pumped it a bunch of times and got home. That master cylinder went another 60k miles. Again, I'm not trying to convince you, and if you feel offended, tough cookies. I've had this car for 10 years, studying it inside out, you'd figure I'd learn a thing or two in that time span.
