Day Off Rant on Bad Metrics

There are certain metrics that are my pet peeves.

One is the BMI.

• It's bad geometry.
  
• The inventor specifically stated it was not that useful for an individual.
  
• Waist-Hip Ratio has a much higher corelation to health.
  

My other pet peeve is National Polls for the US Presidential Elections!

• The election is decided by the electoral college not popular vote.
• See Map Link on Top right this blog to see results of the latest state-by-state polls.
  

Regardless of who you are rooting for, it is the electoral outcome not popular vote that counts.
