This technique isn't as harmful as the naysayers are making it out to be. Under normal use, the tension of the strings are already providing a huge strain on the guitar. The truss rod is there to balance that tension in the opposite direction. A properly executed neck bend is less of a push than it is a firm touch that relieves the string tension momentarily. Truthfully, it's probably more damaging to run heavy strings in standard tuning without a proper setup, and people do that every day.
