Paper towels have their down side. As well as the main tap-root, there are hundreds of micro roots that will penetrate the towel, and when you pull the seed from the towel, you tear the roots, which can sometimes cause stunting and other deformities.
I've never used the paper towel method, but if I did, rather than pull the seeds from the towel, I'd probably take the whole thing and drop it in a glass of water, let the towel dissolve away, and then carefully spoon out the seeds.
