Much of what gets said about building muscle is inferred from short experiments: a protocol that spikes muscle protein synthesis more, or produces a bigger hormonal response, is assumed to build more muscle over months. It is a convenient shortcut, because a single lab visit is cheaper than a long training study. The question is whether these acute markers actually predict long-term outcomes.
