BMI is at best 66% accurate, so "mostly" is correct, but what is mostly good enough for?
BMI has known biases in gender, age, and race. It misclassified Asians, women, elderly w sarcopenia, and people with high body fat to lean tissue ratio.
If that's true, you're claiming that it only accurately measures about 27% of the population yet somehow returns 66% accuracy.
