What is required is an effective and reliable method of preventing or controlling swarming that doesn't adversely impact too much on honey production. I don't think the above meets this.
Of course you're right. This method is used in extreme cases when the queen stopped laying eggs and the colony can gather to fly out at any minute.
This can happen in beginners or in the absence of control
