Fukuoka Seed Balls For Scarce Seeds?

So I got this capsule from Walmart a long time ago, before I knew about the clay ball method Fukuoka taught the world (which I discovered just days ago! Please be nice if I say something dumb!). I purchased these thinking I might more reliably sprout and grow very specific seeds wherever I might place them. After all, the capsule has a lot of reasonable-sounding additives that purport to aid the plant grow.

I love the idea of preparing an area for a big crop of whatever it is I'm going to putting there. For instance, I understand that tomatoes and marigolds are great together! I got some marigold seeds from a guy that proudly declared that they hornworms didn't want anything to do with tomatoes if they're hanging around marigolds. So yeah, marigold-bombs everywhere!

But what if I have - one.  single.  very rare.  tomato seed - ... Or something like it?  Would the clay ball method Fukuoka taught be a viable means of delivering this most important, last tomato seed on earth, ... tomato seed...; Would it be a viable means of administering a single seed onto/into the earth with a greater chance of survival than how I'd normally plant something?

Hard mode: no tilling, no worms, no fertilizer, no...nothing besides what's being put in a seed ball with the single seed. You have a shovel, a grubbing hoe from Sri Lanka you're really proud of, a pick, and 10 bucks.

Nightmare mode: you're also the laziest man on Earth.

In case your answer is, "You're an idiot, Nathan!" and this thread abandoned, would anyone think it be an option to use medical gelatin/vegetable capsules as a means to supplement either in part or entirely the Fukuoka Seed ball method?

I have a bet with my wife.

No you put it under lights in controlled conditions inside. even assuming it has to go outside it needs babying (if it were the last seed on earth) protecting from anything that would like to eat it. with seed balls you're going to lose a lot to wildlife, that's the way the world is, plants don't produce 10,000 seeds for fun.

You could use lights in a controlled environment. That would be ideal. The sad fact is that I easily envision myself without those options in the future.

The intention of this thread is of a dire (not really) situation, and therefore, outdoors. No lights. This thread is a controlled environment itself.

No rare tomato seeds were harmed in the creation of this thread.

I could start the seeds indoors under the cleanest, most high-tech conditions and then transplant them to a nicer, soil-prepped location in my garden. But really, that's nowhere close to my hypothetical garden.

I'm looking for a variant model of Fukuoka's method. His method works wonders outdoors, I'm sure that it wouldn't work for specific types of seeds, and I'm sure that it wouldn't work for very few seeds. So whereas the method itself might be compared to grapeshot, what might be compared to a sniper round? That's kind of the direction I want to go with.

I don't want to disrespect Fukuoka's method. The ingenuity he had was surely a blessing from God. But I'd like to discuss some of these questions with those who have experience.  

What value is there to life if I can't go around and ask people stupid questions?

Fukuoka used clayballs for plants you grow in large swathes like rice. not picky vegetables. I'm pretty sure even fukoaka had a few beds for desired vegetables that require a little more hands on cultivation. Tomatoes unfortunately are a crop that I think requires a lot of that extra TLC to get an ideal (or efficient yield). Or at least for many popular varieties. Doing things like starting a seed in something like a pressed soil block in anything even resembling out doors (under a glass window in a box etc.) could be something close to a natural method or cultivating an individual tomato plant.

To do tomatoes in a truly haphazard fukuoka method, you could be like the ground cherry or tomatillio. A solanum that once you plant it, it's probably going to come back and back. and back. Though this is also a contradiction to the "single rare seed", which I think inherently is the opposite of a simi-wild garden where seed should be bountiful and regularly changing.
