As far as handling after feeding... picking them up to put them back in their tub is not handling in my book so yes I agree you should not handle 48hrs after feeding.
I'm not saying its impossible to do this successfully; I mentioned that in my first post.

Regurgitations happen not only because of handling; they're a survival tactic, snakes regurge so that they can escape a predator quickly when frightened. So just because you've had 0 regurges doesn't mean its a myth. Its very possible that someone moving a snake from a feeding tank to a home tank could startle them and cause a regurge.

In the end I agree it doesn't matter as long as they eat; but people should know the facts and come to their own conclusions.
