Of course, -96 is at the 16 bit level. If it is dither, I don't think I would want that. OTOH, maybe it's an analog electronics noise simulation, though tape noise would generally be some 30 dB higher than that.
I have played around with the injection of gained-up 16 bit TPDF to simulate analog electronics and tape noise. It works, but it's also, no surprise here... noisy.
Anybody remember the old Digi dithered mixer plug-in vs. un-dithered on TDM systems. Surely that's not the flaw Harrison is on about. I believe that was dither a a 24 bit level.
Historically, there is a good case for that controversy having spawned analog DAW summing. Anyway, is dither/noise the "special sauce," or uh, "secret signal routing?" I'm starting not to care.
