So does the body as a whole from individual to individual. I *don't*
float in a fresh water pool. Without a bouyancy device of some sort,
I'm at the bottom in short order, even with my lungs full of air. In
ocean water, I can float just well enough to make snorkeling feasible.

The point is that a simple cube law isn't either.
Indeed - but it's a damn sight closer.
This is a very active research field and I'm sure the professional
community would love to hear this exciting news.

I'm sure, in fact, the professional community are perfectly aware that a
cube law works better for people of unusual height. They're not idiots.

But the BMI is preferred over it on the basis of a much larger sample,
where extremes are relatively rare.

That it works well for a population most of whom are *not* of unusual
height is not really a counterargument to the idea that it does not work
well for people of unusual height.

That sounds like the expected 17% error, yes.

which was highly amusing, so I thought I'd share.
