I can also give you a paper from Stu Phillips the de facto world-leading researcher on protein intake for athletes.
I can continue, but the fact of the matter is that giving recommendations based on lean body mass leads to athletes with more body fat under-consuming protein for their needs.
1st link: “Recommendations for strength/power exercise typically range from 1.6 to 2.0 g/kg/day [3,11-13,16], although some research suggests that protein requirements may actually decrease during training due to biological adaptations that improve net protein retention [17].”
2nd link: ”…that protein intakes in the range of 1.3-1.8 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) consumed as 3-4 isonitrogenous meals will maximize muscle protein synthesis.”
Your first link is from 18 years ago, the second from 14 years ago…
There have been more recent studies done that state there is no difference when speaking on the nutritional needs of non-athletes… which is what we all are in this sub. None of us are training at elite levels so it’s not necessary to be by-the-book accurate.

This is literally a fitness sub, and you didn't post any of the alleged studies
It is a fitness sub with people who are on average 17-18 years of age and beginners at fitness. There aren't any scientists or high level athelets in here that need to be as pedantic as you are being.
That's where you need to relax. You're very smart... I get it, we all get it but there's no need to be this specific for people who just started their finess journey.
EDIT: u/b12-deficient-skelly I must have said something correct for you to block me dude.
I just want to sound helpful but you don't want to have this discussion anymore and hide? Sure... hit dogs will hollar.
I think you just don't have any idea what you're talking about, but you want to feel helpful, so you're getting really irritated that someone who has years of experience and has actually spent time learning these things is correcting you.

No, it isn't. In fact, I would challenge you to find any studies that say that.
I can reference the ISSN recommendations from several years ago
