I think it's accurate for the vast majority of women, as lets face it, very very few women build significant amounts of muscle.
can be less accurate for men though due to the fact some are lifters..

Well, they said fat people aren't always "unhealthy". Where is the exact point you place an "overweight person" being as being unhealthy? Obviously there is a point where you can clearly tell someone is unhealthy. Peoples ideas of healthy tend to vary as well.

Not true at all. Just because women don’t usually build as much muscle as men so it’s not usually as visible, it does not mean that it wouldn’t warp the results. It definitely would. And even if it didn’t, it doesn’t take into account any other factors such as bone mass and it also doesn’t have any differentiation for men and women

you're very unlikely to see a BMI 27 woman who isn't fat .... whereas for a guy you see that basically each time you enter the gym

I never said specifically overweight. A lot of people are considered fat before they reach the title of overweight and overweight is pretty much always unhealthy. Some people are naturally just bigger without being overweight, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are unhealthy

Googles definition of healthy is: 'in a good physical or mental condition; in good health.'
That sounds pretty arbitrary to me. One person may believe they are in good physical or mental condition and another might not. Some people are not "healthy" despite their BMI being a "healthy weight". Good is a subjective term.

Yeah, but there is no specific point where you can determine someone is unhealthy based on their weight alone is the point I am making.

If you're overweight, you're unhealthy. It's as simple as that. If you're muscly and your BMI is over 25, then exercise is obviously taken into account, but if there's no exercise and you're overweight... i.e fat... you're unhealthy.
