Cardio and Fat Loss: Why don't they Measure it?

Interestingly, for all of the deeply scientific explanations for doing low-intensity-endurance-exercise ("cardio") for fat loss, nobody practicing the theory bothers measuring their planned change in body composition. They invest in all sorts of complex gizmos for measuring heart rate and calories burned and calories consumed and VO2 max and stuff; but they don't measure their bodyfat.

The few trainers who do measure fat-skinfolds typically refuse to then calculate a bodyfat percentage. They argue that bodyfat equations are inaccurate; yet ignore that their calorie equations never, ever work for them.

The even fewer trainers who bother to calculate a bodyfat percentage refuse to use it to calculate out how much actual fat and lean mass has changed. They have the data right there but simply cannot face the inconvenient truth it exposes: cardio is horribly inefficient and ineffective for improving body composition and lowering bodyfat.
