She's an academic, she is only interested in studies and hard proof, therefore her conclusions are based on what has been proven and what hasn't been. I think milk, like any other home remedy or commercial fungicide is not going to be effective against all fungal pathogens or even the same fungal pathogen in every situation. There are no silver bullets unfortunately. I thought her conclusions were basically: since milk has been proven to be effective against some leaf viruses and some fungal pathogens, give it a try.
