For those interested, Will Heath over at bnut mentioned that the soil acts more like a "paper towel" (now I get to put words into his mouth) because of capilary action and the network of fine roots in the soil, so the distribution of water and food would be more widespread than if you were just dealing with a pile of sand. I still have misgivings about using the single-biscuit method for very shallow bonsai pots, but he does have a good point.
