Well, I was pointing out that it seems weird to group nuts in with fruits and vegetables, especially given the previous argument that paleo "tends to make it more difficult to overeat or maintain a lot of weight" and "acts as a fail-safe against akrasia".
EDIT: In particular, fruits and vegetables are low-calorie, low-fat, high-sateity foods.
Consider the typical American diet and what they snack on and compare it to eating nuts; I'd be amazed if it didn't tend to make it more difficult for those people to get the same amount of calories. I wonder if you've had the kinds of nuts paleo dieters eat. They're unsalted and uncooked walnuts, almonds, or pecans (typically almonds) -- not exactly a superstimulus.
And remember, you need 24 almonds to get ~128 calories.
You're right, I was imagining peanuts, which are probably much worse.
