I read what you said, it wasn't clear at all what exactly you were referring to. I took it to assume you meant that the large amount of pressure inside the system that would be built by leaving it closed and compressing the piston could kill the MC...
Does fluid not pass by the master cylinder all the time (not all the time, but often...)? I don't see why my method could cause any damage to it, but I don't claim to know the internal workings of an MC anyway.
All I know is I've had a hell of a time with bleeding my brakes in the past, I'd rather not do it
I change my pads all the time, never had a reason to bleed them.
