Showe Screens & Screws
I get a call, 630 in the morning on a Saturday and it's from work. "Say, do you know where the screws for the screen are?"
"Yeah. They're on the dishrack."
"Oh right, thanks. Oh man, if I would have pulled a shot without the shower screen and screw in place, those grinds would have been all up in there, costing hundreds of dollars of damage.....(you're an idiot; why didn't you reassemble the shower screen when you closed?!)"
"Okay, well have a good morning. See ya."
And it had me thnking, "Does it really?" We use the beautiful Cyncra Synesso and I backflush every few days. I think that even if that were to happen (one, you should notice right away that your shot came out funny as there is a significant difference), you could always clean up after yourself. The machine is nearly idiot proof.
So who's right?

Your friend is right.
The screen keeps grounds from traveling up inside the machine.
Even is you try to "clean up after yourself" ...you will not be able to clean well enough to get the grounds out from the inside of the machine.

Not even with backflushing?
