I've lived and learned to expect the worst. If I had just tried to unplug and plug, sure enough I would have gotten a face full of brake fluid. As I was scrambling to get the fluid out of my eyes, my entire reservoir would have drained onto my floor and now I'd have air in the master cylinder which is always a PITA to get out. This way involved very little swearing. My fiancee even commented that it must have gone well since she didn't hear any yelling.

Yes, a bleed is always necessary, but I didn't want to do a full flush.
