yeah, sure

Here is a perfect example of a failure of common sense.

It is a failure of course, only if you believe it. Some people probably do.

API applied the Body Mass Index to NBA players and found that, by this criteria, a bunch of them were overweight.

Here is a link to an ABC News article on it.

The BMI can be a valuable tool but to believe in applies to 100% of people is a mistake. The NBA story illustrates this.

It is the same with many of the tools we use, they all have value but you have to know when to use them and when not to. Use the right tool for the job.
