> If your neighbor says he has more trouble losing weight than other people controlling for calories and exercise, this is very plausible. And it certainly isn’t outside the realm of physical law.

Now you're just moving the goalposts. I said this exact thing in the beginning of this thread: "Yes, it will be easier for some people and harder on other people." The point of contention was not "is losing weight harder for some people" (because we agree on that), the point of contention was "is losing weight impossible for some people". If you took a survey of every person on earth, grouped the people who said that it's "impossible" for them to lose weight, and then put them on a diet, how many people do you expect to find for whom losing weight is literally impossible? You can't even find a SINGLE example.

> I didn’t just get you, I dunked on you.

If you take pride in "dunking" on people, maybe you should inspect your values.
