At the end of the day you can post your great sources and spectacular research, but it has been known for many years that big food has influenced the research around food, food guides, what makes people 'fat', and what people need to do to lose weight.
Are we still claiming that people need to eat 400 carbs per day, 5-6 meals for satiety, fat is bad and watch that dietary cholesterol? Because all those things have been pushed onto the general public for the past 40 years and obesity and heart disease rates have skyrocketed.
In the meantime I'll be here in the group where you can see what actually makes a long-term difference in people's lives, and where cutting edge research is being done by people smarter than you and the researchers behind every study you cite.
I invite anyone who still thinks calories are equal, and that weight loss is as simple as calories in, calories out (like honestly, are we STILL going to go down that road after 40 years of terrible health results) to read this.

Sorry, but this is nonsense:

A 30% reduction in calorie intake is quickly met with a decrease in basal metabolic rate of 30%.

BMR can change slightly in response to diet changes, but for the most part it's fairly stable. Changes to lean body mass and aging affect it over the long term, but the notion that it quickly jumps up and down by 30-40% is crazy.
