Yes I am well aware of that and I did mention that in my comment as we've been saying that for decades that BMI isn't a great indicator.
My point is that the article suggests experts were going to change the BMI scale from 30 to 40 for the classification of obese. Which is exactly what you're saying they shouldn't do and I wrote that I agreed they shouldn't increase it.

Using the broken BMI as a system everywhere is the problem, numbers don’t mean anything particularly complex and doesn’t lead to good decisions to begin with. When a metric is overused, it leads to its being abused and that’s what we’re seeing here because people keep submitting complaints that volunteer firefighters are all obese even though these guys/gals can almost lift a car.
