Well, you write some things I would subjectively agree, but for me based on at best anecdotal evidence. But most people think “full” not “sugar crave” when they eat some rice or potatoes, so anecdotal is just that… Here dies the “experiences that people have”: Only people who expect the carb crave suddenly just experience it.
BTW, The “really easy to digest” did not seem convincing to me, as usually the quoted calories for some food already includes the different efficiencies with which the body can digest it. Wanting to eat more sweets is one thing, but the article is about general food, not cake (sweets have a much faster feedback loop), and the “carbohydrate crave” is exactly what has been denied as “pseudo-science” (at least implicitly: you would not encourage >50% high-GI carbs otherwise).
true… and the “digestibility” thing is really only unambiguously true for simple sugar. I still believe the narrow statement that pure sugar is not filling.

So, back at square one.
