Well being that these are fresh water creatures, if you dump salt in their water, they die. If you do it instantly from salting the water and into the pot quickly it's fine. But if you purge and let them sit while you're doing other batches you'll be cooking dead crawfish. Also, like you mentioned, it makes it tougher to pick out the dead ones.

bullshite.
They don't die instantly.
They can hang for quite a while even while another batch cooks. I've never seen mass crawfish death from purging, and the amount of straight-tails is the same.
