Refute it? Easily. Intensity is needed for keeping and edging out PEAK STRENGTH once you've made it quite far. Not to say everyone's body responds the same way, but it sure is like that for me and most people I know. My strength dips after as few as two training sessions without doing very intense sets. Volume is king? More like king of wasting time KEK.

Well, that being said I do go for quite a bit of volume to fight for those diminishing returns, but it doesn't make sense for a lot of people with simpler goals that are not in league with bodybuilding.
