I might expect this kind of reasoning from a DC motor though...but here it goes.

The reasoning behind what he speaks of is that when you turn on the pump(Motor) reguardless if its a relay or not.. you send power through the fields to a non moving commutator...its like a split second dead short..until it starts to turn.

"Not to worry", unless you are trying to pump a fluid that would initially cause the motor to bog down or overload or basically cause drag of some kind. ie...pumping sludge.
