Seems like a bit of a pipe dream, no?

How does anything scale if you don't know how good or bad it is?

How good is your kids school? How good is your business's supplier? Is this restaurant worth eating at? Am I getting underpaid? Etc

I did not say no measurement, I said favouring the measurement over what is measured.

    favouring measurement

But the measurement is the only way to know how a thing is? What it is like? Whether it's this way or that way?

The alternative is... what... vibes? Anecdotes? Taking the salesman at their word? Trusting that people just do the right thing all the time?
