Lane, I think your synopsis of the Taubes/Blackburn "conflict" is absolutely spot on. You summarized it superbly. Kudos. The only difference between those two is that Blackburn wants us to count calories and stop feeding when we reach our measured limit and Taubes says we will naturally stop eating at our limit if we eat food that satisfies our hunger. Some people are predisposed to line up sides and fight. Others are predisposed to be attentive to the various arguments and understand similarities and differences. It doesn't have to be win-lose. Blackburn's scheme requires will power, fighting against one's body. Taubes's scheme is easier because the body isn't pulling so hard against you. Pragmatically, if the objective is losing weight, then the choice is between limiting one's calories, that is, not overeating, the hard way or the easy way.
