No I agree with them. The average person doesn't even bother to turn over the package to read the label. They just go on the "low-carb" label or XX net carbs. It's deliberately misleading. How many people will scarf down a ton of these products and find they aren't loosing weight but won't understand why. They will probably just conclude low-carb doesn't work. If you know what you are doing then you can decide for yourself that sugar alcohols doesn't affect your weight loss and make your own calculations. This makes more sense. At least you aren't being sucked in by some manufacturer's claim.

The only thing I disagree with is their decision to exclude fiber, since it truely isn't digested. Every else should be included in the carb count. Informed people can decide for themselves.
