I supposed you should tell that to the last few Tri-tip's and Flank steaks i've marinated which were filled with natural juices...

Additionally, you're going to want to let the steaks rest 5-10 minutes (more if it's a roast or larger cut of meat)..

Dry rubs are great, as are marinades - both have their place in culinary and each one provides a distinct culinary experience...
It's not a false claim. When you soak steak in liquid, it allows the liquid
into the steak. It also allows the natural liquid out to be mixed with the
marinade and "diluted" if you will. Of course, the marinade will replace what is
lost but it's not the same.
