I doubt many would disagree that TI principles would help Lindsay, Ian. TI is great for learning stroke mechanics, body position, rotation, streamlining, balance, extension, etc. I believe Lindsay is very familiar with TI.
I think the only disagreement is over discrete topics like the desirability of kicking or weight lifting, whether TI methodology is the best for sprinting, whether swim tools should ever be used, etc. There is perhaps a tonal ring issue as well.
But on the whole, TI principles are sound. Perhaps when the new book on endurance swimming is published, there will be less controversy over its more general applicability.
