Body fat percentage can't conflict with BMI because BMI is not an estimate of body fat percentage.
And I agree that it's never caused me problems, but that's because I and, as you suggest, doctors who look at the number, have understood that it's not that big of a problem in my case. That's what I mean by not looking at the BMI number naively and ignoring other physiological states.
I don't think anything you said conflicts with anything I said, and it sounds like we mostly agree.
