The cut comment wasn't to be taken literally, just an example how generally your body functions.

And do these numerous studies you're refering to outweigh the studies that say you should wait until your muscles aren't sore to the touch, PLUS adding 1 to 2 more days of resting? From the hundreds of pages I read when I was younger that was the main staple: wait until you're not sore anymore, then add a couple of days to completely recoupperate your energy (you won't lose any muscle mass in 2 days, it's physically impossible unless you took a meat cleaver to your bis). I've always been taught that rest is one of the most important aspects of training, something that your average gym-goer has no idea about. Even if you train a muscle and it can't get any weaker, it has a lot less potential than a fully rested muscle. The only people who I've heard saying that rest isn't a real factor are the ones sticking needles in their arms.

I figure better be safe than waste time breaking down a muscle that never reached 100%. Even the big big guys who get there on their own say once you reach a plateau to take weeks off at a time to recharge your body and mind.

I'm aware of the soreness aspect, I suppose I was getting anxious waiting for my next workout. I forgot how exciting it is when you first start up again.
