Can you always control what you can measure? As much as I liked the idea, I don't think this is really true. I do however think the opposite is true: "You can't control what you can't measure" as the maxim goes.

Yes, you're right. "You can't control what you can't measure" sounds more true. I guess there is an implicit "only" in my version.
