To be fair to our AI brethren, this is true of Humans too. I watch people game metrics every single day, and many of them fail spectacularly when presented with real world problems outside of their experience.

Good question. Sometimes, the metrics must be gamed to make real progress. (As opposed to the more usual gaming them for personal gain.)

Between these two, some self serving bias and delusion, mission statements etc.. what is real?!
