Yes, that was the point. If we focus purely on the math to the exclusion of reality you get results that don't apply to reality.
If you only look at thermodynamics when discussing weight loss you get the best possible weight loss advice: "eat less".
It happens to ignore the reality of biology, how the body reacts to changing nutrition, or how it reacts towards changing your desires when nutrition changes, but it is technically correct.
Just like it's technically correct to say that a sugar cube has enough energy to power your home for a long time. It may be a useless observation, but it's technically true.
