As someone of a scientific background, I am interested to know how exactly the chloring would 'clear off'?

Letting it 'stand' does de-chlorinate tap water, but you are partly right, takes longer than I thought. 24 hrs.

Obviously a joke post - why go to all that trouble when you've already boiled the water twice

Not a joke post, Fay, just poorly phrased. The idea is to capture any remaining heat in the electric element thus reducing the time when re-heating for the next cuppa.
