Guten Tag Amadeus - wasn't this complementary protein theory
retracted by Francis Moore Lappe, the writer of Diet For a Small
Planet? Didn't he alter his view so that it wasn't necessary to
combine the different groups of foodstuff to attain adequate protein
levels?

On a related note, former natural hygienists like me followed the
amino acid pool theory to rationalize the procurement of necessary
proteins through an all plant-based diet. By experience, I wasn't
overly successful with this over the long term.
