I didn't think of that, quite honestly. You're quite right. On the other hand, don't you agree that the actual problem in cases like that is rigid policy making with no regard for circumstances, rather than BMI itself?

It's both - basing policy on a bogus metric will almost inevitably lead to problems.

  It spells disaster, for sure. But basing a rigid policy with no regard for circumstances on a decidedly non-bogus metric like body weight will lead to similar problems.
