MFP Implementation of Device Data Makes No Sense

Getting calorie burn data from an app or device shouldn't be so complicated. Today, I had a workout counted twice in my Diary. Once from the Health app and a duplicate from god knows where. After trolling the message boards for a while trying to figure this out, I think it's time MFP admits their scheme doesn't work, scraps whatever Byzantine monstrosity they've set up for capturing data from devices, and start from scratch. If I've burned 700 calories in a day, whether from working out, walking, or wanking the post, it should not matter one whit. If that's what my device records, that is what should be posted. I've read some nonsense on here about adjusting calorie burns based on lifestyle.. What the fuuu....? Just post the damn calories.
