What he is saying is that you should release the slide from its locked back position by pulling on the slide, not pushing the slide release. I was also taught this method. It is more reliable because it allows more force to be used chambering the round than if the slide simply closes from its stop.
A round will not be ejected because there is nothing on the bolt face, all the rounds are still in the magazine.
