You're being pedantic here. If you're counting calories and trying to stay within some sort of range you're probably going to be OK - especially if you're working out even a little bit.

If the calorie info makes you choose a salad over a plate of fried food covered in grease it is 100% doing its job.

Not an expert, but I do take an interest in nutrition and read a reasonable amount on it, and it does appear that glycemic load is more and insulin spiking is important to overall health than calories to me from what I read.

Admitadly I may have a bias as i am not overweight, and my interest is in being healthy rather than loosing weight.
