TeamCasa did say:

In a separate thread, a discussion has evolved to discussing the difference
between the quality of a surface prepared by a jointer and that of a rip
from a tablesaw.

I believe that if all of the equipment is setup properly, all blades are
quality ones, sharp and the procedures are sound, a jointer will still
render a better quality surface than a tablesaw time and time again.

Thoughts?

Setup?? Procedures?? Sharpness?? BAH!!! The tool with the most power is
the best option. Always. HP beats sharpness any day of the week. Maximum
current draw = maximum woodworking happiness.
