Don't be so bloody daft!!!
It is not a gimmick, if it doesn't swell the yeast is dead. I did not say don't pitch any yeast before it swells I said don't pitch a Wyeast smack pack before it swells. There is no problem pitching a fresh unsmacked pack if the contents have been kept in good health, but why would you do it before activation, there is no point? With a Whitelabs vial you you have no way of telling the viabillity before pitching, which is why I personally prefer wyeast.
