Which basically says its not as simple as calories in, calories out.
Because if my brother ate the exact same food as I did, exact same number of calories and everything, he wouldn't gain weight and I would.
So simply counting calories doesn't always work.

No it doesn't. It says his calories out is different than your's that is it. The assertion was that changing what you eat but not how much you eat would not effect obesity rates. We are not saying that overweight people are overwieght because they eat too much. In fact overweight people are overweight because the either eat too much, don't burn enough calories, or a combination. That is simple thermodynamics.
What you seem to be searching for here is for us to admit that not everybody burns calories at the same rate. I think everybody can agree with that.
