I have also just learned of the necessity of sealing the refill hole, thanks to a warning from Trigger 37, who does not endorse the German method.
The problem is that air can easily flow in from the refill hole and down the outlet port causing ink flow problems. This issue is still being tested so we don't know yet whether sealing the refill hole will cure the ink flow problem but even if doesn't, I believe it is wise to seal the hole just to prevent drying out of the ink in the cartridge. It can't hurt even if there is no benefit, so why not recommend it? It restores the cartridge back to its original state.
