Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

Study does not say anything about the diet of the subjects. This would make more sense if it was 22 vegan men with plant-protein supplement and 22 carnivore diet men with animal-protein supplement and a control of typical diet with no supplement.

    There are a lot of upvotes here. Why would this make more sense?

    Agreed, this is a dumb comment that has no relation to the study being done, only some study they imagined in their mind.

    People love to second guess scientific studies like they're set up by complete fucking morons with no review or oversight. Truly their 10 seconds of amateur brilliance is going to see the trivial flaw no one among the team of people doing this as their actual job noticed. If something sounds obviously wrong in a science article, the source of that wrongness is almost certainly either the author of the article or you.

    The author changed the title and the original seems to be what a lot of these comments are rallying against:

    Making a comment about a supposed scientific error from post title alone is even stupider.

    I read the "this" as the study too. I think the "this" is referring to the title so the comment is explaining how the title is an overreach and describing what sort of study you would need to justify a title like whatever overreach was made.

    I'm guessing though
