AnitaAmandaHuginskis comments on 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

OK that does not mean that much though because the sample group is way too small to draw some real hard science out of it.

Saying that as a plant protein lover.

What? The sample group is not way too small lol. It is fine.

On top of that, there are already many other such studies on gym goers, comparing whey with vegan options, such as pea and soy protein. Those studies show that vegan options are as good as whey.

You can't measure anything with a high level of confidence with 40 people. Typical health studies have hundreds to thousands of participants. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10000262/
