You mean the line in his summary paragraph that states:
Please remember I am not attempting to argue only that trees
do not contribute to subsidence, but we must understand it is
extremely important to proportionalize the effect of trees in

Nobody here has argued that every structural failure is the result
of tree root, just that tree roots can cause damage.
