It was a good discussion you should chase it up.

TP is not a religion (YET Erich and I are working on it) so we need to look
at the science.
The problem is it is so complex and involves so many scientific disciplines.
I FEEL that in the end it is going to come down to the "wee beasties" and
'critters' in the soil. Problem is  they are slippery little buggers and
studying them is fraught with all sorts of technical and scientific
problems. We have probably only named less that 30% of them. Talk about
"Bulls in a China Shop" these are the guys that keep us fed after all and we
know pitifully little about them
At least TP focuses on them (WBs and Critters) and soil is not just seen as
a hydroponic medium to make plants stand up wile we supply all their needs
and spray all their "enemies".
