The dipstick tube doesn't go near the bottom of the pan, If anyone is
just sticking a hose on the dipstick tube itself, all they're going to
do is suck air.

Exactly.... I was going to let someone dig a hole for themselves before I
brought that little point up. I don't think a hose shoved down the dipstick
tube is very likely to find its way to the lowest part of the pan either.
I'd say at best it's a half assed way of changing the oil.
