You're right but the point about protein wasn't specifically about protein, it was about insulin and how focusing on insulin levels (with the exception of diabetics) is not really a useful thing to do when talking about weight loss and nutritional health. If your pancreas is functioning properly then insulin spikes are not something you need to be worrying about, and often they are used as the reason that high fat diets are better.
My main point is that carbs and fat behave very similarly as energy sources, and that to focus on removing carbs because you can blunt your insulin spikes is idiotic. If removing carbs helps you cut calories consistently by all means go ahead. But if you think it's some magic bullet you're misreading the science.
