That's asking a lot. I don't even want to read the headlines. After all, I already know my own opinions.

Based on what data? You're just passing some hot air with nothing to back it up.
Phelps ate 10,000 calories daily over 10 years. How would that work if the limit is 4,000?
1) Overweight people can eat 10,000 calories without any physical activity.
2) They tested ultra runners, so very thin people. Someone like Phelps with lots of muscles in his whole body will need more calories than runners. There are more endurance sports than ultra (and maybe marathon) running.
3) Even cyclists eat more than 4,000 calories a day.
The study is a complete joke, just done to get attention which they succeeded in. I'd rather have them use all the tax money on studies that actually help us as runners than random stuff.
Phelps ate 10000 calories a day?
Exaggerated by how much 100%

No exaggeration. There were articles saying he ate 12,000 calories a day, which he then classified as myths. His quote:
"There's so many stories that are written about that. One random paper picked it up over in London and made this fabricated lie," he says. "Twelve thousand is not real. It's impossible. You can't eat that much."
Instead, Phelps downgraded the number, saying, "During my prime, I was probably really eating eight to ten [thousand calories per day]. But that was the most, and that was when I was in high school and still growing.""
So 8-10k per day daily. One example of his diet:
Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelette. One bowl of grain. Three slices of French toast topped. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.
Lunch: One pound of pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread, plus energy drinks that supply him with another 1,000 calories.
Dinner: One pound of pasta, an entire pizza and even more energy drinks.
Exaggerations are the norm. He probably ate between 5000 and 7000 kcals per day.
