So the criticism was bad, and that somehow makes it ok to use a bad metric?

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that if the criticism is referring to a broad set of metrics like bugs per release and number of commits that were made by Claude, then it's correct to look at precisely those things because that's what the claim is about.
