In the real world, tillage has a heck of a lot to do with soil OM levels. You're not applying tons of sugar per acre per yr to feed bacteria. And the article is merely showing that it's possible for OM to be created from bacteria consuming only sugar. Whether that is a significant mechanism for soil OM creation in the wild has yet to be shown.
