Subject:air in the system

Simon,
     The hole is very small but I guess if you have a
small enough tube and a lot of time it could work?

The problem seems to be that everyone thinks this
method will force the
air back into some other part of the system.
Now, I'm no fizzics perfessor, but empirical evidence
gathered over my
lifetime would suggest to me that, with all other
bleeders and caps
closed, opening the radiator bleed hole while there's
a bottle of fluid
trying to get into it will put fluid into the bleed
hole... and force
any air OUT THE SAME HOLE.
Any fluid dynamical types out there who know a reason
why this wouldn't
hold true, please post your experiences...
