I think you've misunderstood the argument, but I appreciate everything you've said.

The argument was "raw food is better for your dog", which it is not. I've not said raw food is bad, I have only said there are more risks than kibble fed, such as nutritional balance and the requirements of dogs now compared with 1000 years ago ( Even 100 years ago is potentially 30 generations of dogs, so yes, there are changes even in that time scale) and disease/Parasite risk, which you mentioned yourself.

With regards to dogs living off of offcuts not too long ago in human terms etc, they may have been able to survive, but would the dogs have been as healthy as modern day dogs? I would guess not, but I think it would depend case by case.

My point being, unless there is a specific reason not to, a good quality kibble will be better than raw fed and much lower risk.

Agree. Although, as I mentioned some of the things you suggest are not without their risks too. 
 
*Good quality* kibble is critical. I think that a lot of modern health problems (thinking teeth, gums, skin etc.) in dogs come from feeding the cheapest food available with high amounts of salt (salt being palatable makes the dog like it so owner keeps purchasing). There will always be scummy humans trying to profit off ignorance and marketing. Again that nuance and complication.
 
It’s got to be a balance of everything, but actual cooked meat, along with a lot of the other things you originally mentioned, is always going to be better than biscuits alone. I supplement meals with some reputable biscuits which seems to be working quite well for her. 
 
I completely understand that most dog owners are not in a position to harvest their own meat so I can see why you would suggest a pure kibble diet for them.
 
Gotta love this sub and the logical discussions that we can have.
