to be clear -- leaning on the wheel and forcing the "pings" to happen by stressing has the effect of putting the spokes where they want to be, but I think mostly people don't know why, so it's basically cargo-cult building. The alternative is realize what's going on (ahh! Torsional stress!), fix it (take your spoke wrench, back off spokes a fraction of a turn) and get them setup, knowing exactly what's going on, and not resorting to cargo-cult methods.
