Oh, 100% combined predictive accuracy? I see Nobel somewhere here

Don't be ridiculous. Then again, having worked with physicians and being acquaintances with their typical skills in experiment design, statistics and data reduction, I am not surprised.

So, a marathon runner, waterpilo player and shot petter should all strive toward the same BMI? Good to know. Or are the latter two bound to live shorter?

Quite to the contrary, this is a fact based approach. Instead of using something as meaningless as BMI, one should assess parameters such as performance of cardiovascular, respiratory and locomotive system. In other words, put the subject on a treadmill and see is that "excess" weight detrimental or not.

Of course, anorexic or morbidly obese people can be recognized at sight, but beyond that, "normal" is not so simple.
