That absolutely worked for me after I replaced the clutch slave cylinder on my Miata.  The system had emtied itself out when the old clutch slave cylinder failed.  I bolted in a new clutch slave cylinder, then filled the reservoir.  I sat in the car jumping up and down on the clutch pedal for about ten minutes.  Never did touch the bleed screw.

I had another Miata guy tells me that this cannot happen and I must have a magic car.  I don't think that's true.  :-)
