Ya but that's because in a sling you aren't moving your arm. While deconditioning, your penis is still getting erect and functioning normally. There is no reason why your ligaments would atrophy with normal use. That being said, I do believe in deconditioning but I believe it is only appropriate when you plateau at heavy weights AFTER you've cemented.
As far as vet's comment, I just go by what the hanging community goes by. Maybe working girth while hanging won't cause gaining at higher angled hanging to be more difficult but there is anecdotal evidence that those with larger girth had much more difficulty hanging. The user ironwill here is dealing with that problem, I believe. At any rate, it's up to the individual to figure out what their priorities are. I think the hanging community frowns upon heavy girth work while hanging just due to the fact that it's going to cause attachment point problems, since hanging itself is such a harmful practice. Adding in pumping is just going to complicate things. Kingsnake had to switch to a vac hanger for that reason.
I think a good routine to follow if you aren't die-hard about having to gain the most amount in the quickest time would be 1 set/day at a weight that causes fatigue and pumping + jelqing every (other) day or so.
