As long as those things are being accomplished, it doesn't matter whether it's little balls of clay or dirt or air. I think it would have to be what's going into the plant and/or what's still in it that controls how it tastes or burns, not how it got in.
I've just starting researching it all, and while I think the original is wrong in the complete assertion I will say from what I've deduced so far is supposedly real organic growing does tend to be more in soil grown plants.

I've had a numbers of strains that were very dense ( no popping though) and I attribute that to the strain and the strains needs perhaps. For instance recently I had a strain called Orange Blossom. I have no idea on the genetics line, and I know the name is probably a throw. Still it was very dense and compared to the bigger buds of others by eye a small fraction. Weight is weight and typically when you break those tight heavy buds up your still left wit the same amount of material.
