I'm not saying I agree or disagree, just trying to explain what I got from the video, and his explanation.

Thanks, that does clear it up a little.
This is a perfect example of the value of the sear disconnect lever. If you always use the lever, it is impossible to fire the gun while field stripping. I like to boil things down to the most simple way. Using the lever eliminates the possibility of a discharge.
So, even if you see brass and say, "I'm good to go" you won't shoot the gun if you use the lever. I see it as a fail safe.
