The pea method eliminates bubbles. A thin layer does not.

"Tinting" the cleaned surface of the CPU with thermal compund, mostly removed with a credit card or thin plastic scraper... and then applying the pea...

Could it be that there is some merit to the "thin layer all over" message? But yes, easy to mis-communicate. I had not considered the problem of bubbles.
