Do they have all 9 essential amino acids
Some do. And if you combine two plant proteins in a meal you can easily get all nine. I understand plant proteins have less bioavailability than other sources but you make it sound like it is undigestable.

Some of it is indigestible, that is why plants look like plants (corn, lettuce, e.t.) when you poop them out; to begin with, plant proteins don't have enough of the essentials to complete the RDA protein profile.
You cannot eat, and absorb, the amount of food required to digest the essential amino acids needed. You do not have the bacteria in the gut necessary to break the cellulose down enough to get to the amino acids.
I mean, wow. Compare a solid branch of science like anatomy to a BS'ed one like nutrition and people get all up in arms.
