This maybe something which hardly people think about but, do you really trust the results of certain programs to tell you about certain things about you? This can include how good your eye sight is, brain power, which side brain you are and something which the gaming watchers have been dumbfounded about, whether you are fat or not.
The article notes that a healthy active 10 year old girl was using the Nintendo Wii Fit and wanted to know about the game says about her and not surprisingly, the game brands her as being fat. Please do note that I did same the word "Game". Thing is, bugger loads of stuff is never accurate, but the main constraint in question is in fact her balance and how the program is worked.
Take a step back and stop all this whinging about a skinny young girl being branded fat and being totally worked up about this inaccuracy. About the internal mechanics, so many of the results in which you see is actually based on a certain age, this being 20. Reasons as to why, I can only roughly guess, mainly due to body development. An 18 year older would have similar stamina to a 20 year older but then, placing a 10 year old year when they are testing about stamina and comparing results to a standard 20 year old, the results become beyond obscure and even fogged up due to the massive age difference. This is also the same with many of the training programs by Nintendo such as Brain Training, Sight Training, etc.
They work on helping you to improve on your abilities, both in mental and physical areas. Thing was, initial trials, you become really unfamiliar about these certain type of programs and of course, you become really horrible first time round, but as you build familiarity with these programs, these results will eventually become obscure as then, you would become too familiar with these programs instead of relying on pure skills. Even though I used to play buggerloads of FPSes and was testing out my Hand to Eye Coordination, I still managed to top it even though I've only just was my first time, but then again, they do work.
Back to the topic at hand, these are simple area of guesses but with Wii Fit, they are to do with balance, stamina, strength and focus, leading to a score with the Body Mass Index. If anything isn't up to standard, then the results sway away from being the recommended norm, such as balance being skewed towards the to one side; left, right, back or front. Then again, we come to people who isn't physically strong, then what will happen? What about Olympic Shooters? Their body wasn't built to be strong, yet have been built to be able to handle the shock of the gun, yet, the extra weight is a negative by-product to the physical appearance, though, one can argue about the stamina of army personnel being fit and able to handle the kick back of their weapon of choice.
Hell, I even have a small little cousin playing Brain Age even though she doesn't know how to do sums and multiplications quickly and it says that her age is something which I don't even want to know... There's even a memory section within Sight Training yet... it doesn't in fact help with sight, just memory.
As I've mentioned early on, they are just games, which can help you in many respects, just don't rely on them to give out true representations about any aspects about yourself. Doctors are better trained to give that sorta detail better than a game can, but hey, games are meant to be enjoyed than relied upon.


If one lies and the other also in known to lie and implicates a lier, how would you know if they are telling the truth?
