No, it's not a false dichotomy at all, or the first two pages of Google results on the topic are all wrong, powerlifting competitors are wrong (they should be doing 5x12 instead of 5x3, 5x1, 5x5 and many other rep schemes), Starting Strength as well as Practical Progamming for Strength Training are wrong and Rippetoe is a hack, my trainer (an olympic weightlifting competitor) is wrong, Alan Thrall's entire YouTube channel is false, and someone can make millions of dollars by showing that hypertrophy and strength are really one in the same and that there aren't three types of muscle fibers. This would have a huge impact in the fitness world if you were right. I don't think that's the case.
