@masklayer not even cube unfortunately. square

@wowaname not using a single number for measuring health exclusively based on height and weight alone.

@wowaname nope; it's an attempt to measure how "overweight" or "underweight" people are, giving allowances for the fact that taller people will be heavier because they have more tissue.

it's just a bad metric and it feels like something from a rushed undergraduate maths paper that turned into something that people actually use

@ed1conf @clar ha! I was just about to make the same comment.
