If your Taurus had a bit over 100 to 150K, that's a normal time for a trans rebuild under normal circumstances.
Also, a rebuilder should be able to tell you if towing it had anything to do with the failure.
No "modern" automatic, even non-electronic ones, make enough pressure from the "governor" to adequately circulate fluid in an automatic.
The problem with an electric pump is making sure that the tow vehicle is supplying adequate voltage for it to operate and that the pump does NOT restricting the flow when the vehicle is being operated normally.
Not sure why you quoted me when I didn't refer to anything like that.
If some other company like Remco says it's flat towable than they probably know better than us. I suspect they are right because a trans that is not towable wouldn't last anything close to 2000 miles. Also, trans that make enough pressure on their own often do so through they're own internal pump.
I dont know how the Taurus works.
