> measurements, when executed correctly, are objective with numeric evidence, thus some people are wholly incapable of measuring things for the same reasons some people cannot introspect

you can't measure everything, and choosing what to measure is an editorial decision that introduces bias.

Bias is the whole point. Measures are taken to produce outcomes that someone has selected. Typically the person accountable for the results of their team or department. They have editorial authority.

The problem is that in software development, measures are rarely executed well. The things that are measurable are either not as important as things that are not objectively measurable, or they can be too easily gamed.
