In theory, if you tear your muscles in any other way, such as pulling at the area can't you gain more muscle mass?

Why not just cut open your muscles and then let them build back up REAL good?

No. That causes scar tissue = you're pretty much a cripple from then on
Weightlifting causes microtrauma
I believe SS or PP talked about this: any trauma/recovery process makes the muscle around the trauma stronger, but in serious injury you don't fully recover. The area around the injury will "pick up the slack" and increase in strength to the stress, but that doesn't make you overall stronger.
