You're right, it is a matter of aesthetics more than anything, but put it this way: the entire contents of the carboy entered each and every bottle because of the methods he employed to get the beer into the bottles. That is a LOT of yeast per bottle. As long as you decant the beer off the yeast into a glass you've probably got a fine beer but the ultimate is to be able to drink from the bottle and not feel like you just drank something with sand and vomit mixed in.
