Whey isn't incomplete. But I will totally agree that it does get converted to sugar just like any other form of protein, if the body needs to do so. It IS a very inefficient process though, and also very expensive (in money terms.. to buy) as protein costs a lot more than carbs.
After lifting, your body's first priority is replenishing muscular glycogen stores. If you take in whey only, your body is highly likely to convert some/all of it to glucose, as it needs to replenish glycogen. As said, it is an inefficient process, and HIGHLY more costly than dumping some dextrose in with the whey.
