My point is the point of caloric deficit is an extremely fluid, moving target and can be shifted to an incredible degree to the point you can gain weight on 2000 calories (or less) and lose it on 5000+.

Isnt this exactly what I pointed out to you, and you disagreed?
Its not uncommon for visionaries to change their positions, and theres no reason to indict such a thing - however, since you admitted to being a "go against the flow kind of guy", I fear you are looking for something, anything, to go against the norm with, to fulfill your sense of identity (even when its not worth while...).
When we spend a lot of time alone, we start to lack feedback. This is the simplest value of therapy, as far as I'm concerned. Having a 3rd party question our unquestioned thought patterns, which may or may not be doing us harm, can give us a more firm grip of reality.
Ive been in those positions before - isolated, depressed, with unchecked thoughts. Grand thoughts and aspirations, "If only they knew my greatness!". No one wants a method to eat 6000 calories and lose weight more than I do. Please continue your work, but I do think you're a little bit out of touch right now. Youve become extremely ingrained in your stance, now to the point of self-describing as a "visionary". I fear this post will do nothing but ingrain you further, but that is your journey to endeavor.
There's nothing wrong with the CICO model, other than maybe how static it can be (it adjusts dynamically, as per screenshot and your quote), but even that can be somewhat accounted for with activity multipliers a bit of nutritional understanding. And on a personal level, when I was 280 lbs, I could maintain my weight on 4800+ calories, but I wasnt a metabolic superstar. I was just big!
Anyway, something about your post moved me emotionally, maybe I need an aspirin...
