The tester must have been a twit.
1 Basil plant to 1 tomato plant works perfect.
No bugs.
Unless I must be wrong and bugs snuck up and poo'd on my tomatoes while I wasn't looking, then they all ran/flew away when ever I returned, quickly removing their bite marks and restoring the tomatoes to perfect
Strange how it has worked for eons for everyone else except the tester person
