Just what did the 'ol "Iron Guru" say? Did he perpetrate the same lie as Nelson, that "protein can not be absorbed without the presence of fat" and egg or whey supplement ingested without fat cannot be absorbed? If so, then yes, Vince was wrong. So is that what Vince said, or did he simply say that milk and/or fat with protein is a desirable nutritious practice?
?Protein can not be absorbed without the presence of fat? is a lie designed to slap you in the face and make you say ?da, I?m stooped and bedder pay attention to Nelson so I can get my musles big.? Can you argue that fat can aid the absorption of protein supplements? Sure, in many cases it does just that. Can a fat and protein mixture be used as a viable post-exercise meal? Of course.
However, #1, protein can certainly can be absorbed without the presence of fat, and #2, in many cases, such as post-exercise anabolic recovery, significant fat with protein can inhibit a more advantageous protein uptake.
