I think opening Ur fermenter to clean it whilst there is beer in there is silly... But hey I could be wrong

This is totally against all that I have heard on here, but is it that a krausen can act as an extra layer of protection? So much so that you could open ferment during this time? I know this very old school brewing technique.
