Personally, I think this is pretty funny. Believe it or not, this is actually a myth. It's not a thing.
Another thing people refer to as pressing is smashing out creases with a spoon. This actually is a thing and it damages cards. This IS an alteration, and it's something I won't do. It is perhaps worth mentioning that this is also something Kurt does not do either. This will get your cards flagged as altered stock by PSA and SGC. Don't do it.
Putting a book on top of a card while it dries to ensure it dries flat is not what is meant by "pressing" a card.

Correct pressing and soaking a card into a flat state alters the thin/thickness of the card stock it will get rejected 9/10 times. Might have a chance with scg. Also spooing is comical too, can spot that as it removes the gloss from the card and leaves a shiny dull where the person attempted it. Also, sometimes leaves divots in the Cards. It’s amazing what people think/do to Cards.
