What exactly are you trying to accomplish? By default ticked and otherwise unread (including unseen) articles are displayed.  I only do my trick so I can get at everything else with / w instead of having to reenter the group.  Most of my groups are kept small enough that the time to enter isn't hampered by loading everything up front, and in the rare case I worry about that I just enter it with a numeric prefix to limit the articles loaded.

If you're just trying to get rid of the prompt, try setting gnus-large-newsgroup to nil.

Otherwise I don't know.  Maybe something in the difference between use of and vs or.
