A DEXA scan can give a precise reading to 1% but I highly doubt ANY body fat calculator would accurately measure under 1% increments. It probably does a number of scans and averages it.

As for any body fat calculator using a scale, I definitly don't think it's possible if PowerBuilders calculation of 9g between 12.5%-12.6% is true. No scale can accurately measure 1 gram increments at 80kg. Unless it's like some freak NASA scale or something lol. Even with 10g increments (not likely) your put on the very limits of a true 0.1% accuracy.

Not the thread direction I was looking for but let the totally irrelevant discussion continue :p
 
I didn't intend for my statement to cause any heated arguments, it was more thinking out loud rather than a question.
It doesn't really matter either way unless there's some lowest body fat competition out there which would require a super accurate reading which I've not heard of but my doubt still stands whether you can accurately measure it to the nearest decimal point.
Thanks to those for their input, all except the scrawny kid who's on my ignore list.
