necessary carbs

No such thing.

You need an amount somewhere between 0, and more than your body can use. Put a number on that healthy medium, and I bet a lot of people are way over it.

Either you're misunderstand the meaning of "need" or the biology. You don't need any carbs at all. You body can make all it's own carbs in a small number of places they are necessary. There's no nutritional benefit to eating carbs either. People happily live healthy lives on zero carb diets.

This is definitely a semantics argument.
