I can't cite the papers, but I think the evidence for this was fairly good. If assimilate means incorporate into muscle protein, then this study doesn't contradict that either. Rather, what they're showing, if my essentially lay reading of this is correct, is that the 100g protein meal has a "pharmacological" effect on the incorporation of labelled amino acids administered IV during the experiment. Maybe it signals to the body that, "we just slaughtered a mammoth and we have to eat it before it goes bad, so you can make all the muscle you want without depriving other tissues and systems of amino acids."

This time of the year, I'm doing frequent short XC MTB races, so it's a bit of a balancing act with getting the strength sessions in. I'll have back-to-back XC races this weekend. These aren't really "A" events for me, but I like to go into them fresh enough to at least turn them into proper "intensity" days.
