Never seen, heard, or have open the bleeders to change brake pads. It doesn't hurt a thing. What kinda story do you need?
It is a good idea to open the bleed port when compressing the piston on the front brakes on a Contour so that you don't push crud backward in the brake system.
That does not apply to the rear brakes. The rear piston is not puched badk into the caliper, instead, part of the piston collapses from being screwed in. You are not pushing the piston into the caliper so there will be no fluid to displace.
