Comments which mention the importance of calories are reflexively downvoted around here.
I think many people are confused between what CICO actually says (your energy balance determines your weight loss or gain) and what their image of CICO -- conveniently made out of straw -- says (there is a magic fixed number of calories, if you eat less than that magic number you'll lose weight).
Typically the conversations are downvoted based on the actual expressed claims in those comments. Most people who make thermodynamics references do in fact say stupid things out of ignorance.
My limited experience -- that is, actual empirical data available to me -- suggests this is not the case when the topic is CICO.
Most people who mention dieting or human metabolism do in fact say stupid things out of ignorance.
