But at least it can track trends, I suppose.

You're right. Duh! I didn't actually click the link.
The important thing is to test your subjects at the same time of day (like early morning).
And it is at least as accurate as calipers. Honestly, I have yet to meet a trainer who used them properly, so I never trust results taken by calipers from another trainer. It cracks me up when some girl who's 15 pounds overweight exclaims to me that she's 16% bodyfat!
