Yet people who passed laboratory science classes in college, people who should really know better, choose to govern by the metrics they "feel" are causally related to outcomes.
Maybe you really do have a formula that outperforms a panel of subject matter experts. It does happen sometimes. Not for long, because the experts start using it. But the bar for making this kind of claim is, at minimum, peer-reviewed experimental results that reproduce.
Human experience is a rich dataset. Intuition is a sophisticated machine. It blows my mind that people will so easily dismiss all of that in favor of a few bits of information and some 3rd grade arithmetic they just made up.
It's not scientifically rigorous just because there's a table and a graph. Come on!
