I can't remember why I started doing that in the first place.
I've had no issues. Just to clarify, the reason the hard reset was suggested back in the day...

WHen you flash a rom on a device with an extended rom (part that holds the rom image), a hard reset was recommended to ENSURE that the whole image got copied from the extended rom to phone memory in it's wholesome goodness.

Memory has since evolved to where we no longer have these issues and can flash right to phone memory. And the same RUU utility (upgraded) that checked the extended rom flash image, checks your diamonds flash image for goodness. If the image isn't copied to your device right, you'll get an error. I don't know where the flashing back to stock bit came from though....
