It all depends on how accurate you want your measurements to be. You can do
the math yourself by remembering that the measured risetime = SQRT[(Scope
system risetime)^2 + (DUT risetime)^2]. The scope system includes the scope
plus probe plus whatever is between the scope and the DUT.
If DUT and scope have the same risetime the error will be 41.4% If the scope
is half the DUT the error is 11.8%. At one forth the risetime you are down to
3% and at 5 times faster you have 2% error when measuring from the scope screen.

Here's my take.
With HJ's rule, at near the limit, what you see is not what you get, but you
could figured out what it was.
With Tek's rule, who is in the interest of selling scopes, at the limit, what
you see is for all practical purposes what you get.
