People worry that execs game the metrics investors use to evaluate stock. To give an example close to home, imagine if tech companies were evaluated by how many lines of code they produce per quarter. Now people are scared that execs will tell people to just write a bunch of whatever.

Making the company look good on paper (short term stock gains) but actually worse (perform worse in the long term as those lines don't translate to profit). But when these hidden faults are discovered the execs are long gone and their bonus checks already cashed.

I agree. I just don't understand how the rules described in the article actually incentive it. I get that they're small step towards it but they don't seem enough.
