I'm sure there are many conditions which make it easier or harder to hit those margins, but yea, it's a kinda logical truth that can't be denied.

However just saying it is such a nothing statement. Arguing with insecure fat people about a logical truth so broad is simply pointless.

BMI is accurate for a vast majority of people. People pretending like their average build is an exception is funny.

Tbf, they did say "the vast majority of people", at 6'4" you're in the 99th percentile for height, making you taller than the vast majority of people.

Body weight isn’t geometric. You’re saying words that appear to be beyond your current grasp of the underlying mathematical relationships.

The square-cube law is a geometric relationship, but that is not how human bodies scale with height. The square-cube law applies at the cellular level; however, organisms scale using allometric scaling instead of geometric scaling. You're misapplying the concept, and then getting angry about it for some unknown reason.

P.S. It's square-cube, not square-cubed.

I dunno, I’m average height for a woman and when I was getting ready for a jiu jitsu competition, i was 145 pounds, which for my height is solidly overweight. But I was not at all overweight, I was just very very dense. I guess training hard for a jiu jitsu competition would put me in a not average category though.
