Check out the Timken website on over greasing. I'll take Timken's word as not being a myth, they do know a thing or two about bearings.
If you look at the inside of a removed hub it pretty easy to see how it slings outward. If you have ever pulled a partially full hub, i.e. properly servied, it's also aparant.
Boat trailer bearing buddies work differently, and have a habit of slinging extra grease.
Unfortunately the Timken website in their FAQs Timken FAQs specifically state:
Always follow original equipment manufacturers’ recommendations regarding grease purging and correct replenishment amounts
so Dexter's information and directions trump anything Timken might say to the contrary.
CHECKMATE:p:B
