I think, though, that you're both pointing to two aspects of the whole calories in vs. calories out argument:
1) Calories in vs. Calories spent is the absolute bottom line with regards to weight loss. Eat fewer calories. Do more work. You'll lose weight.
2) Certain foods make this easier because they provide more "bang for the caloric buck," thus curbing appetite longer.
So, no, technically food choices don't matter if you're counting calories. But eating your BMR of calories in hershey kisses every day is going to leave you feeling constantly hungry.
I also know that you all are aware of this already, but I thought I'd try to outline where the two angles you were both approaching this from intersect.
