Not at all. If anything it is closest for women. The heights and weights associated with them that they have for men are absolutely ridiculous.

Exactly. BMI is completely flawed whenever you factor muscle into the equation.
The reason why it works better for women is because they typically have a much smaller lean body mass than males due to their greater tendency to store body fat and their lack of muscle mass.
The female numbers look pretty good to me and are realistically attainable.
