Paint isn't going to dry or cure until it gives off solvents. The chemistry I referred to - or, more accurately, the physics - of how much oxygen is actually displaced by the "blow in the can" method". My bet: not enough to matter, unless it is a very small volume of paint. In that case, a smaller container makes a lot more sense. Why leave a little bit of paint (of what use?) in a large can?
I do it because it's the client's paint, and I want them to have the sticker that shows the tinting formula. With that sticker, they can buy another can of paint if the old one is no good.
