No I am not saying that at all.
I am saying that if you are in a extreme deficit and not eating whole food or are eating a minimal amount of nutrients that this might not be the best time to test the water of your ultimate strength.
This is not a discussion about lifting and strength increase in a moderate deficit, this is a discussion about vigorous activity with lack of repair. I don't care if you are taking a few capsules of branched amino acids and some fish oil, if you are in a 40%+ deficit of daily caloric expenditure do a 1RM deadlift at your own unneeded risk.
