That's really the same as saying that the hypertrophy that results from lifting very heavy weights as opposed to light weight high reps tends to stick around longer...which is somewhat true.

Without getting into the superiority of certain bodyweight (or bw + more weight) exercises such as pullups instead of pulldowns, your bodyweight tends to be heavier than the weights people start with on a typical "bodybuilding" routine. Therfore it is more likely that any resulting muscle size will be the result of actual structural protein which does have a little more staying power than sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

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