Makes perfect sense, actually. Well said.

[edit] I will add that much of the responses to the metrics are quite cynical -- assuming people will game the metrics. Therefore, I agree.

Some people will consciously game the metrics and some people will unconsciously game the metrics. Some people might not game them at all, but if a chunk of the team is gaming them, then its already game over.
