What I don't understand @war garden 572 is why you don't join a forum in the USA that is dedicated to growing vegetables/homesteading , there are plenty of them i have looked! I think they would be far better suited to your needs.
I rather think that the OP has a specific way of viewing things, which may not be shared by the generality. Gardening embraces a wide spectrum of people ... can I suggest that those who relate to Wargarden's particular interests and enthusiasms happily continue the discussion ... those who do not share his special interests just leave him to enjoy doing what he does.

Skandi BenCotto.BenCotto.'s would fail for breaking a companion plant rule since onion supposedly cause negative effect on bean growth since they supposedly are anti companion to bacteria that fix nitrogen for beans.
The evidence saying onions have a deleterious effect on bean growth is weak to non existent. Most of what you read consists of a repetition of unsubstantiated old wives’ tales. Where there might be a problem is with ornamental alliums or perennial onions growing adjacent to legumes but the research on this is limited as far as I could find.
However thank you for telling me my plans have failed. I shall go out and scold the spring onions and tell the French beans to buck their ideas up.
I don't think I have ever grown onions near beans, but purely because onions want direct sun and beans will shade them. they are not together on that plan, my beds are 50cm apart so what is in one bed doesn't come into contact with the next bed anyway.
BUT I don't believe in companion planting in that manner. Yes some plants are aleopathic, (sp) as are some mushrooms but not most vegetable plants. I've read all sorts of don't plant x with y and most of them I have done with no issues, I've also read lots of plant near trees or at edges.. and found that those ideas are a really good way to stunt your plants or encourage pests.
I personally think that vegetable planning only comes in to effect when you have a large area or are just starting out.
I legally have to keep a record of which "field" my vegetables come from so for me at least there is no choice in recording that, I will say that if you were to compare my records with my plans.. there would be many variances!
What with drawing so many plans/maps whathave you, going on this forum and all those others and dissing their plans or maps, and writing The Book I'd be very surprised if he has time to grow anything at all. Mustard and cress maybe?
So do what I do ... make a cup of coffee and read the threads I'm interested in ☕
I really don’t think we’re going to persuade this particular poster to change his mind … so a bit of 'live and let live' eh? There's enough folk in this world telling other people what to do ... I ignore 'em and go on my own sweet way Certainly not going to tell them what to do, once I've established that we see things differently.
