The way i understood that is that he wasn't using a hop bag in the boil so he used the word "sparge" as filtering out the hops/grains as you pour into the fermenter, then he rinses them again to get all the goodness out. If you use a hop bag there's no need to "sparge" as he calls it... also like you, i thought of batch/fly sparging with AG. This is not what he meant, that was updated in 2003, 6 years later were using paint strainers lol. Go HBT.
