It's one of those "Tsunami" models, or something like
that. Wouldn't be surprised to find that it is highly
inaccurate. Don't know of anyone who does the full
immersion test to compare it against.

What really bugs me: They sell a version for the
"aerobic athelete" who does aerobic kinds of exercise
10 or more hours a week. I'm borderline on that
definition. I may qualify -- or I may not. Some weeks
yes. Some weeks no.

So I wonder: What difference does that make in the
calculations, anyway?
