To some degree, there was similar views when I started blogging.
The purists said that blogs that commercialize their traffic were bad - but how else could we make this a lasting venture without actually deriving income to be able to pay writers?
BMI was invented in 1850 as a statistical measure of the "fatness" of population, and in that terms, BMI was and still is a very effective tool.
The problem is when they apply BMI to individuals, where the margin of error approaches 20%. (i.e. 10% of skinny people and 10% of fat people do not conform to the picture of health that BMI purports to show).
