^This. BMI is much misunderstood and abused, both by those who follow it slavishly and those who decry it without understanding how it was created or intended to be used (most of the egregious abuse is from the second camp, tbh). It's a statistical tool, with all the implied caveats.
Similarly, while no two human metabolisms are the same, 99.8%* of people who claim that calorie intake is irrelevant are fat bastards lying to themselves.
*Genuinely made-up statistic.
