Besides, the Harris-Benedict equation was revised since its original calculation. Even then, the revision was minimal. Its year of publication has nothing to do with its accuracy, either.

Well I have the paper in non-electronic form and don't feel like typing up an entire abstract. It's not so much the year in and of itself, it's how representative a small select group of people from 1919 are in comparison to people in 2008 and the effect that has on the generalizability of the formula derived from them.
