This is not an uncommon remedy for making a reed softer. It's no secrect. I have several articles of reed care and reed adjusting on my website if you're interested, including "undercutting" a reed.
Ken, Iggy Gennusa used to leave the reed on his mouthpiece too. I've done the same thing with my bass clarnet as long as I can remember but I didn't like it on my regualar clarinet. Besides, I always rotated my clarinet reeds and never had the problem you described, at least not as long as I've used humidity control, which I've been doing for at least 30-35 years.
