Yeah, for sure. But I can't think of a reason, for healthy trainees, why it would be advantageous for an untrained person to ever intentionally use the same weight for two whole months if he or she wants growth. You will either understimulate or overstimulate but the same weight guy is much more likely to understimulate than the increased weight guy is to overstimulate. No doubt about it, in my mind.

An untrained person, though, who just increases reps and sets, etc. can get some growth from that up to a point. It seems to me that some people think that increasing load is the only way to stimulate growth. Or at least they think that anything other than increasing load has little use except for conditioning. And that is just not true. Load is just one variable among many.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
