I think in general mainstream diet advice, by the time it is filtered down to nurses comments and PSA’s, ends up being on the order of “choose to eat less food and burn more calories through exercise” and virtually none of “did you know that what you eat can determine how hungry you are?”
Actually, a lot of people do. They might not be the “nutritional experts”, but it is a common enough position (here for example) that it needs to be addressed.
The problem is that nobody in mainstream nutrition science actually thinks that.

Sure it’s worth addressing. But in a way that doesn’t imply it’s what the experts think, which Taubes does.
That linked comment doesn’t actually seem to say what you think it says.
