I'm not trolling at all. As i replied to the other comment, there are zero systems that can't be worked around. There are zero good systems where bad action can be avoided without some form of accountability.

"how much additional effort would have to go into monitoring managers to make sure they weren't circumventing the "spirit" of the given bullshit metric?'

Zero - Everyone already knows when it is bullshit. They all sit in a room, knowing someone else is saying bullshit, but avoid saying anything about it because they want to say bullshit too.
