I looked at that web page. ...
My take away from that article seems to be different than yours.
It's not that he went 6,000 rounds between cleanings, folks can choose to do whatever they want, the point I was making by linking to that article is if you use a CLP, as a CLP, to Clean, Lubricate, and Protect, the more you use it the easier it gets to keep your gun clean.
In this instance, he wiped off nearly all the "crud" with just a paper towel. He didn't soak his gun overnight, he didn't degrease it, he didn't use some harsh chemical, he didn't spend 30 minutes with a bore brush on his barrel. He wiped off the crud. If it was a little stubborn, he used a little more CLP.
The more you use a CLP, without stripping it all off with some kind of degreaser, the better it works. That's the takeaway I got from that article, and the procedure I use. I normally clean my guns after every time I shoot them, but it is little more than some patches through the barrel, and wipe the crud off the gun with a paper towel.
