Great article, and I must admit I don't always open the bleed screw when resetting the pistons. I will definitely be more mindful of that now.
Pushing dirty brake fluid up into the MC never made sense to me. I use the Shimano funnel on the lever and a syringe at the caliper bleed port. I use the syringe to suck out all of the bubbles and discoloured fluid from the caliper while keeping the funnel topped up. Keep doing this until I get clean fluid in the syringe.
