BMI is a horrible metric that was never intended to be used for evaluations of individuals (it was supposed to be used for evaluation and comparison of whole populations), is known to scale wrongly with height and basically should just be ignored.
I recall reading that BMI correctly predicts obesity in 95% of men and 99% of women. Do you disagree with this?
