that ignores the range of possibilities in favor of restricting
performance only to that which can be demonstrated.

That's nonsense. All Joshua ever claimed was you cannot call it an
authentic performance if you completely ignore the forces for which it
was written and with which it was performed. That's what the discussion
with Ton Koopman was about.
