Yes he would, and I think in some cases that could make a difference but in something like this (and in most of the recap jobs I've done) it didn't really seem to make much of a difference functionality wise if the caps were installed one way or the other.
I think its because the more modern mylar caps have better shielding than the old paper caps of 50+ years ago did, because otherwise why would they go to the trouble of not marking the "outside foil" on modern caps, if it mattered as much as Mr. Carlson said it does?
Don't get me wrong, I love Mr. Carlson's Videos, and how thorough he is and his great explanations of why they did things the way they did back then, but sometimes I think he's a little too much of a "salesman" when it comes to his inventions and his electronics crash courses.
