Metrics are only necessary past a certain scale.

  • Metrics are only necessary past a certain scale.
    • Below that scale, you don't need metrics, and metrics are distracting and possibly misleading.
    • Past the critical scale though, you can't steer by touch anymore, so you need metrics to steer by sight.
    • Metrics are way worse than steering by touch, but they're the only approach that works past a certain scale.
