Any silliness would be mine, thought I did that but since you remind me, I think I didn't do it properly. I only grabbed and squeezed 2 crossing spokes, instead of 2 adjacent sets of spokes. And I didn't deliberately bend the spokes where they exit the flange.
I did bend the spokes where they crossed and did the "over and reverse" when turning nipples to reduce spokes twisting.
So should I stress relieve now or lower the tension first?
Silly question but have you stress relieved the spokes thoroughly after truing?
