That is what is good about these forums. We all have opinions and if I am wrong then I am okay with learning something new.
I just can't see how siphoning out of the reservoir will get the fluid out of the lines and the rack-and-pinion. I would imagine if you drained the reservoir and filled it up and drive the car for a short period and did this process a few more times all you would be doing is mixing new oil with old oil.
My thinking process may be wrong but I don't see how this would be good practice.

I only needed a 1L can of new fluid. I would siphon the reservoir, refill, start the car, turn the wheel many times lock to lock and then repeat until the new can was empty. I checked the fluid in the reservoir a few days later and it still looked brand new, hinting at the fact that I replaced the entire volume.
