The author explicitly mentions operational metrics are a different thing, and I think that would fall under that.

You can break your product without noticeably affecting the things like the http error 500 rate, cpu utilization %, etc. that you would likely see on some ops dashboard.

On our ops dashboard we see stuff like number of ID syncs, number of events processed (by type), etc. - I'd argue that is something is truly "broken" you see it.

If you're using funnel analytics to decide that the product is broken - i'd say you probably do something wrong.
