I think we should be careful with the things we say.  I do not think "we" all believe that double digging should be grouped together with things like commercial pesticide and fertilizer use.  Double digging is very labor intensive yes, but it certainly does have a place in long term sustainable soil building.

In Tennessee the master gardener program involves classes sponsored by the
state agricultural extension service. I understand that they are big on
concepts that we are trying to get away from here e.g. double digging,
fertilizers, pesticides, lawns etc.), but I'll probably take it when they
form a class here come fall.
