Erm, the BMI exists for a reason. The guidelines set by it are not arbitrary; they were established because what is - for the majority of people - healthy and unhealthy fall between these guidelines.
Claiming that the outliers are unhealthy is not cherrypicking; it's using averages. Claiming that most outliers are healthy because a minority are healthy outside of its bounds is, however, cherrypicking.
