I feel like this is just a personal thing. I believe it may OR may not effect anything. I kindof think when I pull It out it'll think whatever, when I place it in a separate container that probably smells like her last meal then she'll kindof think feeding time?
I feel like this is similar to cars, "I change my oil every 8,000 miles!" "you have to change it every 3,000 miles.". Does that make sense? I thinks it's all in the head maybe, just a personal idea?

You were on the right track at the start of your post. The car analogy killed you since it doesn't really compare.

It's a personal thing mostly. Some people do it for the sake of putting their mind at ease. That's all it is though. It can stress the snake out too.

One could argue, trying to stick your hand in the feeding tub after it's eaten could get a feeding response.

If the temperatures are correct, I'd feed it in it's tub. It'll pass substrate if it's ingested.
