I agree with Allen's comment. 
> it is apparent we have a lot more to learn about the subtle and 
long-term effects of these substances, both alone and in combination.<

There just isn't enough known on the subtle effects from these new systemic pesticides. It might seem like they are safer but in the long term what do we know?

(I really have no idea whether he continued
to treat them identically after the trial).

Randy, that's speculation and I don't think that's fair. I think if he was going to do anything unsavory, it would have been in the citrus (if he was so inclined).

>To me, the question isn't whether Movento is harmless;  the question is
whether it is an improvement over the currently registered pesticides.<

This would be the question if Movento was replacing the currently registered pesticides but that isn't the case. It will be added to the others so any degree of harm that Movento causes is still an issue.
