Like I mentioned I have done them both ways and I find absolutely no difference in texture or taste. I am a cook and not a chef. I know exactly what a strainer does and I have one since - like I stated - I use to do it that way. Tomato seeds also improve blood flow. Suppose to be cardio value to them. They are perfectly good and nutritional like the skin.
As far as your comment about seeds of other plants that is an absurdity. I guess you can go to the ultimate foolish extreme and say since you eat the skin of an apple why not an orange and banana? Silly rabbit!
Now the whole purpose of this seems to me to get how different folks approach the process and some wish to make into into some type of Iron Chef debate contest. I simply do it my way because we find suits my purpose, provides health value and is time efficient. Others may wish not to - that is why there is vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
