The person was highlighting the complexity of "what is and isn't organic" they're not trying to evade your question. The answer isn't simple some of it consists of what you personally would consider organic. The USDA allows some things that aren't fully organic into "organics".
This person may also not have a full knowledge of Earth Juice's line, but they did educate you about what constitutes organic and you can lookup these products individually to see if they qualify for a USDA organic seal.
From my experience with working in the hydroponics industry commercially Earth Juice products are not all 100% organic any PK booster with 0-30-50 NPK is not organic. Many Earth Juice products contain organics but are not entirely organic in their makeup.
If you really want to go "organic" the only true way to do organics is to make "living soil" a combo of a good soil recipe/blend with a healthy regiment of compost teas varying concentrations for veg, early, and late bloom.
Pre made "organic" fertilizers don't provide the essence of organics more a hint at the potential. Living organic soil gardens only need compost teas made of inexpensive dry goods no nutrient line can mimic the microbiology of living organic soil and compost tea innoculation.
The tastiest healthiest flowers I've ever enjoyed come from living organic soil. Second to that is house and garden nutrients line a non organic top of line nutrient regiment. For simple prepackaged guaranteed best quality go house and garden. For absolute best quality put in extra time, and effort to learn how to make a good soil recipe and how to feed it with home brewed compost teas.

Seedlings less than 1 month old
Mix 1 cup earthworm castings into 5 gallons of water to make the tea. Add 5 tsp. Black Strap Molasses.
Veg:
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Maxicrop or Liquid seaweed.
5 tsp. Black Strap Molasses
Flower:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Maxicrop or Liquid seaweed.
5 tsp. Black Strap Molasses

Those are the general guidelines for 5 gallon batches. Some people dilute the teas 50/50 with fresh water to cover larger area's or to cut the strength if need be(obviously one can just add half the of dry mix to cut strength as well). Guano can be pretty strong so it's notrecommended to go too crazy with guano teas
Some occasionally add 1/2 to 1 tbs per gallon of fish hydrolysate or emulsion(if smell is not a concern) to the Veg tea and others also like to add a 1/2 cup of alfalfa meal per 5 gallons of tea to both the veg and flower mix
