Dear Donald, it's quite the opposite. You should be careful not to disturb the pellet after step 7. The presence of debris in the path of the light beam of the spectrophotometer causes light scattering, which reduces the quality of the measurement. The absorbance at 720 nm (A720) in equations of step 9 is included exactly to correct for such scattering. However, it is always better to measure clean solvents with dissolved pigments only.
