Le sigh. I should have known someone would throw that particular nitpick.

That’s an edge case. People who fall in that category already know that. And they’re very interested in their accurate, absolute weight.

Besides, BMI is just a convenient way of quantifying what a “healthy weight range” is. I could have used any range and said I was interested in weighing between X and Y.

I am kind of in that category...and I'm interested in relative fluctuations in body fat % even though I don't give much credence to the absolute accuracy of the body fat measure.
