Is that really the case?

2)another reason is so you can be less hungry with eating less overall by constantly feeding yourself so you don't have troughs.

Does that mean as long as I don't get hungry (or can endure the hunger), eating 3 meals a day is fine too? I feel a lot better eating 3 larger meals than 6 small ones. With the 6 small ones, each time I finish, it's never quite enough and leaves me hanging. I don't really get hungry with 3 meals a day until it's time for the next meal anyway.
It worked for me. I ate 4-5 meals a day, eating breakfast, light brunch, then often splitting a normal sized lunch into 2 meals and then eating a lighter dinner than I used to and I lost about 10-15 lbs of fat over 6 months to a year. Of course, I also stayed active after big breakfasts but then I had a job that would allow me to do that. Most people eat breakfast and then sit for hours at a desk.
