Science doesn't know all the molecules in the living soil, just as it
doesn't know all the micronutrients in natural foods. Therefore, no
synthetic mix can provide all the molecules that good living soil
provides, just as no synthetic food mix can provide all the molecules
that a balanced natural diet can provide. This would be my answer.
