How so? Water is incompressible and so cannot retain any pressure.
Pressure can only be retained by any unbled air in the radiator which
can be released via the bleed valve with perhaps a trickle of water.

This is the case when both ends of the rad are turned off as described
in the instructions. Any pressure stored in the system (via the
expansion vessel could then be released by opening the rad valve to link
the system back to the rad.

There is usually a small amount of air/gas in raditors. You can't
bleed it all out.

I think, "Pressure can only be retained by any unbled air in the radiator

Trickle is more like an aerosol jet.

I think you must have paid extra for those full flow bleed valves ;-).
Never more than a hiss, bubble, bubble here, never felt the need to open
the screw enough to have it hosing down the walls.
