End of the day "sugar -> fat -> sugar" is close enough to the truth to be far more useful than any tl;dr of the full technical details.
Burn the sugar, don't replace it, let the body reclaim it from stored fats. It really is that simple in practice even if the actual biological / chemical processses are far more complex.
If you want to argue biochemistry and cellular biology you should be better informed.
Quite simply, fat does not turn into sugar.
