I doubt many Orthodox would (could) disagree with the statement that Orthodoxy is the 'root' from which others sprang. This is not branch theory; this is historical precedence.

Branch theory is going the next step: that since many things spring from a single branch, they all have equal (or comparable) validity. This the Orthodox Church explicitly rejects.
