I understand the Asian philosophy of tofu going together with meat or dairy, since I am Chinese and my parents usually make dishes involving with those ingredients. For my friend's thought of comparing the desserts, it works in ways since they can be of the made of dairy. He's not exposed to good tofu, only mediocre ones.

I think dairy as a control group for tofu is a totally wrongheaded way of evaluating tofu... I'd rather consider them in isolation, because I don't think I could say "I prefer this to that" unless the tofu is just past its prime. For Japanese, and in everyday thinking in most of the rest of Asia, tofu isn't a meat or dairy substitute... sometimes they even go together.
