If you're offended or "psychologically" hurt by something as trivial as an inaccurate weight/height BMI evaluation, I'd tend to think it's more your own fault than the game. You're going to have a pretty hard time going through life if you can't handle something as simple as this. Not that it's the girl's fault for being upset, but that the parents would try to blame Nintendo for this is ridiculous. For example, if a child is frightened at the sight of spiders, blaming the spider for being ugly gets you nowhere.

That said, I agree they should probably add a little disclaimer saying that BMI is often very inaccurate due to variations of muscle mass, water retention, etc., etc.
