So, I don't think Dean was wrong in saying that Sam couldn't go with him. I'm not even 100% certain that they are stronger together. When Sam's around, Dean worries about him. When Sam's safe, Dean can focus more on the job at hand.
I don't think Dean was wrong in his logical assessment. But I also don't think he was wrong in giving in to Sam and letting him come, because I think it helped to mend a little more of the broken trust between them, and I believe the strength of their emotional bond - which still shows lots of fractures needing mending - is going to be vital.
I do think they're stronger together. Yes, the worry and distraction factor is there, but more important to my mind is the way they can ground each other when they're working together. They haven't recovered that harmonic resonance yet, and when it's not properly tuned, it can be as destructive as the flutter that took down the Tacoma Narrows bridge; when they're in sync, however, they magnify what's best in each other. And I'm relying on that. :)
Sheesh - the time's gotten away from me again. Oh-five-hundred comes waaaay too soon ...!
