People zone-out when doctors start talking about complicated medical things. If its tough to understand, people just ignore it. The BMI is easy to understand, despite its general flaws. So, its better to give someone a general idea of something and have them listen/understand, then give them a complicated and precise explanation that goes way over their head.
