I'm not sure. If the majority of the metrics give a false or misleading sense of reality, then maybe taking away the metrics would be a net win. It's entirely plausible that the whole system of measurement we've come up with in this domain is fundamentally flawed and has more costs than benefits (see financial system risk ratings circa 2008). The skepticism of new metrics could very well be warranted until there's a real demonstration of success and good faith in their use.
