Getting "off plants" necessarily means getting off processed foods, which is where most of the benefits lie. The "guidelines" in many places aren't strict enough. This is a rhetorical sleigh-of-hand because the unhealthy Americanized/Western diet is not high in vegetables and fiber, it's high in refined carbs and starches, added oil, and sugar, all of which is derived from plants.
An anecdote isn't that persuasive, talk is cheap. Systematic reviews of randomized control trials won't show a carnivore advantage over whole foods. There's no compelling evidence, this is just brushed aside with conspiracies.
Notwithstanding that in the first place there's evidence that whole foods (plant-based or not) diets can improve life extension and profile.
I'd prefer a higher quality source than a youtube video, and once again, I don't put much stake in an anecdote. It's possible to have a starch-heavy low quality diet even with lower amounts of processed foods. Carnivore is an elimination diet; it has one food, meat. One could opt to survive on nothing but potatoes but that doesn't make it a balanced diet. Meat by itself provides a broader range of nutrients, so the proper comparison would be with e.g. a composition like the mediterranean diet. To date the benefits of including whole foods are thoroughly documented; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
"argument from silence" is a funny way to say there's no evidence.
