The only merit I can see is the tube will be cleaner given my experience with the water method.
So I have had 2 CTC-25s come through my hands. The first one I soaked in water for 2 months, then radiator fluid for another 2 months because I heard etheline glycol (spelling?) was supposed to help...I didn't see any noticable change in the cataract. Then it became the tube where the face cracked because I tried mirrors with the sun method. I don't recall trying guitar string on it but if I did it didn't work. That set I was fixing for a friend so I had to get another CRT after my mistake...
The second CTC25 was the RCA in the video.
The only thing I have ever seen change in a water cataract removal under a year long was exposed metal rusting. I suspect the water method only works during winter freeze thaw cycles or on tubes with severe cataracts...The tubes I saw with the worst cataracts had all been stored in unclimate-controled spaces.
