I think that's mostly to wash the excess starches off of the rice.

“ The PBA method involves parboiling the rice in pre-boiled water for five minutes before draining and refreshing the water, then cooking it on a lower heat to absorb all the water.”

This was the only information provided about the method in the article. I do the same thing with quinoa to make it less bitter, guess I’ll start doing it with rice too.
