You CAN keep up lower to moderate intensity for a long time. A 45 minute run EASILY trumps HIIT for calories burned.
You obviuosly can't see this, can you?

I asked you to support this claim, not repeat it like a broken record.
Firstly, aerobic calorie burn is NIL. Seriously, you're talking at most 200-300 kcal/hour. That's nothing.
A weight training session for one hour can burn upwards of 500-600 kcal. Same w/ other forms of intensive anaerobic activity. There's just no comparison.
If you want to show that this is not true, THEN SHOW ME DATA and quit being a damn broken record.
Secondly, you're missing the entire point of practicality...who the hell has time to exercise 2-3 hours a day, just for the sake of some metabolic utility you think is applicable?
What if the person has a need for muscle mass or strength/power, which are immensely de-trianed by high volumes of aerobic work?
What you're talking about might swing on paper, but practice has shown us that it doesn't work out that way.
Again, you've YET to consider the context of who you're making suggestions to.
