The parent was saying BMI is not a good diagnostic tool for individuals, and it was good for populations.
You're not addressing that point. You're saying that populations don't consider people individually. Which is true.
But you haven't made an argument against the use of population wide BMI, which is the only case it's generally accepted as being valid for.
(I agree it's over recommended as a individual measure, or overrecommended without caveats. E.g. BMI + waistline, or BMI + strength test.)
