Cool Fuel Pump Off?

I just want to play a game of "Devils Advocate"...whatever your answer (even if I agree with you) there is an argument available.

Anyway...student asked me recently...

"Why bother turning off the fuel pump when climbing through 1,000 feet. If one of the immediate actions during an engine failure (PFL) is to turn it back on again and wait for it to do it's stuff...why not leave it turned on for the entire flight?"

Answers on a postcard.
