Genuinely unsure how this is relevant in any way.

Because if obstructive heart disease can be caused by something other than LDL-plaque (such as thickening of the vessel walls) then your suggestion that soft plaque missed by the CAC score is the cause isn't necessarily true, therefore your suggestion that the CAC isn't good enough isn't necessarily true.

[Edit: it isn't relebant; thickened walls would be non-obstructive CAD].
