Remember that all protein ingestion studies are suspect to validity since the outcome measures are either amino acid concentration differences in the serum/muscle cell or mRNA synthesis. Neither of these may equate to actual synthesis.
Also, the study does not say ingestion is not possible. Its suggests the maximal anabolic effect in there study group.

Yup, that's the study I was referring to. Only acute effect (as opposed to long-term) was measured using a training bout involving 12 sets total. Low external validity there; very limited realworld applicability.
