> Two subjects, one eats grass, one eats meat. Who grows more?
Once again it depends on the hormonal background. I only eat raw fruits and vegetables. I assure you that I have plenty of muscle, endurance and strength. All of these were built on this diet.
> Two subjects, one trains, one doesn't train. Who grows more?
All things held equal and constant, the one who trains. You are missing my point. If hormones are there, you will literally build muscles from raising a coffee cup a few times.
> Two subjects, one is hormonally-responsive, one isn't. Who grows more?
This misses the point. We are no discussing how to get hormones to change from one state to another. We are discussing two different stationary hormonal backgrounds.
> Two subjects, one is 8, one is 88. Who grows more?
Once again, hormonal background. 8 year old will not grow muscle. He will have more growth hormone, but not testosterone. The former is responsible for growth but in a different sense which is akin to restoration.
> Two subjects, one is tall, the other is short. Who grows more?
Completely irrelevant.
