In the long run, you are absolutely correct.

There is a transitional period of a few months to a couple of years where you’ve stopped training but haven’t completely lost the adaptations to strength and endurance yet, so perhaps you could tell the difference during that time period. I doubt this type of study can tease that apart, though.
