What he fails to provide is a fool proof method of determining of when you have been effective enough not to have an issue. It's a pure guessing game on what air pressure to use, how long to blow out the lines, how much time between multiple blow outs so left over water settles and is then blow out and how do you tell with 100% assurance you have in fact removed enough water to prevent problems.
You blow until there's no water, not even aerosol mist coming out, period. That might be 1 minute, it might be 5 minutes.
That's pretty simple. Zero water equals zero freeze damage. It's not complicated. The irrigation industry has been doing it for nearly a century now, you don't see them digging up golf courses and other expanses of fine turf looking for burst lines because it doesn't happen.
