The sad part is that there isn't any real answer, like a lot of fundamental things in science we don't really know how it works and won't for decades. My personal theory is more along the lines of the whole tearing muscles concept is crap and exercise is basically just a signal for your body to make more muscle and doesn't directly cause anything.

Depends on the meaning of the invokation of the word "science."

To iterate that, in some such, you are correct. In others, six one way half a dozen the other.
