I'm pretty sure you are right. Potters are not the absolute authority on the kind of things that happen to a pot with a tree, dirt, rocks, moss, and varying quantities of water and an undefinable tolerance for internal compression. I have also met many self proclaimed arborists who may be expert on the care and feeding of trees in the ground who do not know shoe polish from dog doo when it comes to doing the same with a tree in a bonsai environment. Bonsai tends to acquire an identity and a set of circumstances that do not always align with standard thought, or respond as a tree in the woods would do.
