The Sugar cane male from Pilibhit was dead unfortunately when the measurements were taken during the autopsy.

Plus, there are two videos (one posted by SpinoRex) where it shows that they follow the straigh line in the back or at one side of the body.

So, is at some point confusing to just say "over curves", because like I said before, technically all these are meaurements "over the curves" of the body, everybody will tell you this, but the issue is IF they hold the tape straight or if they press it in a few points to hold it, or if they press the entire tape in all the curves. So especific details are very important and very few people (like Dr Sunqusit, Dr Farhadinia and Dr Athreya, for example) will take the time to fully explain the method used. Reply
