...another lie. It is not!

The only thing is gravity. Air bubbles will raise, so that is what you shop meant. BUT... if you get enough air in the system... it will be very hard for that air to float upwards. And as we know... air does not compress - so you will have a soft pedal(until you bleed the clutch) or a clutch pedal that sits on the floor. Ask anyone who's bleed their clutch pedal and they will know the horrors of that pedal on the floor.
