Can you provide any studies that show it is a fallacy? Here is a study that says otherwise:

Mammary gland development is defined by the
formation of
ductal epithelial cells, which requires estrogen and EGF, and of lobular alveolar epithelium, which
proliferates in response to prolactin and progesterone [23,24]. STAT5A, which can be
activated by EGF and prolactin, is required for mammopoiesis and lactogenesis, as determined by knockout experiments [17,25].
