Well, ok. Say that you can gain 5 pounds of muscle max a month. So you go about your day and proceed to gain 8 pounds a month. After 5 months you have 25 pounds of muscle, 15 pounds of fat. After 10 months you have 50 pounds of muscle, 30 pounds of fat. At a year, you've got 60 muscle, 36 fat.
By just gaining muscle for the most part, you'd be at 60 pounds of muscle gained, no real fat to lose.
So, in order for the dirtier (not necessarily "dirty") bulker to get back to essentially no fat gain, he needs to stop gaining earlier than the 12 month point to start cutting the fat. If he stops at that 10 month mark, he has 30 pounds of fat to lose in 2 months. Say that's doable. That still means that at the end:
Clean guy gained, 60
dirtier guy gained, 50
So same amount of time, but the guy who didn't do it cleanly sacrificed.
Not that there's anything wrong with whatever way you choose in the end, just that one way is more work... paying for the not so clean fun earlier on.
