Is it necessary to remove the cap prior to direct seeding?

I do and its a bit of a pain, I think if you didnt it would mess with the float test... everything I have read says remove them. It will be interesting if others say different.
 
I used a vice grip to pop about 1000 out of the shell. Didn’t take too long. Got the kids to help do it.
