It's a lot easier to add sealant and seat the tire bead with the valve core removed

Took my friend on a ride and let him use one of my bikes.
He said his rear tire was a bit low and asked for my pump. I asked if he's ever worked with a Presta valve before.
"I know what I'm doing!" and proceeds to completely remove the nut, and the core falls down inside the tube.
I made his dumb ass replace the tube and made sure he never forgot what he did wrong.
