I'm in general agreement, but I fall into the camp that prefers to empty the swamped boat before re entering. In my view pumping falls into the category of messing about, unless it is absolutely necessary.

An efficient T-rescue does not involve dragging one boat over another, and emptying the boat takes a matter of seconds. Pumping is just a chore. I carry a pump, but would only use it after a solo self rescue.
