I agree with you mook - that the method is referring to pre-dormancy only.
One of the well-known healthy orchid growing recommendations is to avoid that sort of setup - with a jar obstructing air flow around the orchid pot. Growers should avoid air-flow obstruction to cut down on chances of stagnation in the pot - which could lead to oxygen starvation, fungal growth, rotting etc.
It's ok for growers to try - for sure. But those considerations should be made about possible issues with the jar setup.
