> Sometimes you actually have to think, or hire someone who can.
I'm perfectly capable of thinking. Thinking about "how can I create a system which reduces some of my cognitive load on testing so I can spend more of my cognitive resources on other things" is a particularly valuable form of thinking.

That problem is when managers take a metric and turn it into a KPI. That doesn't happen to all metrics. I can think of many metrics I've personally collected that no manager ever once gazed upon.
The real measure of a metric's value, is how meaningful a domain expert finds it to be. And if the answer to that is "not very" – is that an inherent property of metrics, or a sign that the metric needs to be refined?
