Not obvious at all. If it's all there, it's still whole grain. Your statement is not only not obvious, it's not even true.

If a brain surgeon removed your brain, dried it, ground it into a powder, and then put the powder back into your head, to what extent would you still be "all there"? There would be nothing missing (just add water) but you would cease to be functional. Would you still be a whole person?
Take a book and grind it ito a powder. Can you read it in powder form? No. What has changed? It no longer functions as a book. Is it still a whole book?
If I could take your car and grind it into a powder, would you be satisfied that you still own a whole car?
So we're talking about how something functions when you change its form. Whole (unprocessed) grain (like whole wheat berries) takes longer to digest and thus tends to keep your blood sugar (and insulin) steady, rather than spiking. So it's less likely to cause health issues and your hunger is more likely to be satisfied for a longer period of time.
