Amp meter pegged

so, since were discussing amp meter bypasses, i seen one guy on youtube who simply ran a heavy gauge wire from the charge stud on the alternator straight to the battery (i guess this counts as one of the "big three" of general automotive electrical upgrades)
he left the amp meter in place and wired up as usual, claiming it is now no longer carrying all the current, since current takes the path of least resistance and simply travel through the larger wire straight to the battery, does this make sense?
