Perdon me but that doesn't make sense. Nitrogen burst is a method of agitation. The bubbles do the agitation. Its used where very uniform agitation is desired. Nitrogen does not cause oxidation of the developing solution (or fixer) as does plain air bubbles. "Stand" development AKA stagnent development is done with NO agitation. It can result in compensating development and exaggerated adjacency effects. Its effects are often not desirable.
   Nitrogen burst allows development of sheet film on hangers without the problems of non uniform agitation often encountered that way.

Yes, he does stand development (like an hour) in the tanks but uses the nitrogen burst for the few agitations.
