The more I see such comparisons of two programs, the more I doubt their value, when claims are that the same (limited) tools are used. Here we see it already, in that DT has 2 'olympus' baseline curves (and 10-20 predefined ones). It's clear that LR does apply a similar tone curve, but it's not stated explicitly... So just in this simple example we have two points of discussion: basecurve and highlight reconstruction... If it were that simple, we wouldn't have the discussions about importing editing instructions between programs. But in practice, each program has its own tweaks, and its way of doing things. From what I see here, LR does a few things automatically that need to be done "by hand" in DT. And that kind of thing is nice when you start, but tends to limit what advanced users can do.
