Sorry that's rubbish,
If the pressure in the whip drops between closing the cyl valve & opening the bleed, all it means is that there's a pressure leak nothing to do with the cyl gauge unless that's where the leak is
You need to get out more.

Lets see if his cylinder is charged first eh?
And if there was a leak on the whip, do you think he might not have noticed it?
