      people are continually amazed at how BMI continues to be a thing despite its obvious massive failings. well, let me clear that up. it isn't a thing despite its failings, it's a thing because of them

      I think it's a combination of: - winner take all - simplicity It's very simple, and the first successful metric ... it's enough to keep it alive for ever

      tbh i don't think that would be enough in the face of the evidence if it weren't a case of worse being better for the people who decide which metric gets used

      Why you don't think it would be enough in this counterfactual scenario? I think the feedback loop is not tight enough in this case: working doctors (who maybe benefit from metric imperfection) don't decide on the metric. People who decide on the metric aren't directly rewarded

      doctors aren't monsters; some would notice that the big metric is nonsense and build consensus for one almost as simple and much better (shoulder to shoulder measurement and adjusted ranges are all it would take) if doing so weren't professional defection

          Hmm can you say more what is this simple alternative? BMI is super simple: simple formula + two (three thresholds) In the working def of simplicity, any lookup table is more complex

          i haven't done it to actually know but it seems very much to me as if you could do something with a slightly more complex formula (three whole variables, aw shit) and the same number of thresholds on different points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
