This is similar to the debate about no need for calibration with Sony ccds.
Until you do the experiment and see that a flat actually adds noise to the image.
So this is relevant to noisy sensors more than anything. I would not have though Tony spent a lot of time with DSLRs. Perhaps his recent 60Da got him interested or he is trying to appeal to a wider audience than the CCD mob.
His DVDs on image processing are very good. I have watched them all. I don't particularly like his highly contrasted image processing but at least I know how he does it. He's like the original Pix Insight style image processor. He also several useful techniques that I use from time to time but some of it is getting a little dated now with advances in some software making the tricks redundant.
