Measuring the wrong thing, even if it is highly correlated to what you really want to measure, often results not in a slightly suboptimal result, but in the worst possible result.

It's not a failed system ism.. But the sad truth is, we should go back to the 1800 were proof was travelling with others to the lab and watch the experiments happen life. Reproduction by the author under expert supervision and with a camera recording of the whole ordeal.

That and reputations trees. The tree that spawned this rotten apple, root to roof, has spawned many more.
