Second, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) both specifically recommend the factory method and gravity bleeding is not the factory method and its not a method recognized or taught by ASE or NATEF.

Your advise is not good advise gravity bleeding is a poor way to bleed your brake system. Gravity bleeding can work but its not the best way or a recommended way to bleed brakes. It does not have the flow or pressure to ensure consistent and reliable results.

I have done mine this way and some of guys that track there cars are also doing which takes about 20 minutes ,and if you want to discuss ASE cert. and I-car cert.(for Autobody repair) pm me you're fax number and Ill see about getting them down off the wall and fax you a copy.

And the only advantage to a gravity bleed is no chance of introducing air in the system.
