My Wii Fit Plus and the VA go by my height and weight to determine my BMI now, but I think a lot of health clubs, personal trainers, sports organizations, etc still use the pinch method - I wonder if maybe it gives a more accurate measurement.

Actually no the tank method gives a more accurate measurement. The pinch is generally used only in doctors offices because of the expense of the tank.
