"They all work equally well" does not imply that they work *at all*.

Just like gunpowder, gasoline, and everclear all work about equally well as fire extinguishers.

they didn't *imply* anything in the show. they flat out stated that it was all about calories in and calories out. so just cut your calories you fatties. ugh. i'd have been fine if they'd taken the tack that equally well meant equally unsuccessful. :/
