> if you study GDP its easy to see it’s a giant scam and the economy cannot be put into numbers. Qualities are better than quantities

You'll need to have some sources for that!

I don’t. It’s people who pretend the economy can be measured that should prove their point (they can’t)

GDP has been studied and demonstrated for decades. I wonder if there are any economic metrics that are better studied.

Its an argument from authority. All those people could be wrong about what the economy is about, it does happen that 90% of people are wrong about something, collectively. And every country measures it differently.

Even if it was really meaningful, by the simple Cobra effect it would be made meaningless

It's an argument based on research and expert consensus. What is your argument based on?
