You did not say that, I was not trying to infer you said that, just that new divers may here this discussed. Personaly when I am recreational diving, I will keep the wing evacuated and will fin and control the amount of air in lungs to achieve buoyancy. Yes there is some drag, I did try the other way once. There are other reasons I keep the wing, not totaly for self rescue. Anyway if you want me to explain why I think it is important to keep the wing, even if it is not for self rescue, email me and I will explain.
