    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?

I'm not saying every method of measuring or every metric is equal, but there is no way to seriously engage with something without measuring it...?

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