That argument annoys me so much. Each vegetable does cover all amino acids, they just don't have them in the exact relations that our body needs. But if a vegetable has only 50% of one amino acid compared to the distribution that our body needs, then you can abso-fucking-lutely just eat double of that vegetable. Or as you say mix-and-match.
A typical Western diet includes far more protein than the body needs for maintaining itself either way.
