This level of monitoring is insane - an evil application of gamification. People, unlike machines, do not always work in precise patterns.

The example of the effects on "score" in taking an unschedule bathroom break tells me what I would do with such monitors in the bathroom.

Do you believe that biology is not understandable?

I believe that biology introduces variables of the type that micromanagers are often ill-educated to understand.

IOW - biologicals operate with more variation than machines.

Are you trying to make some roundabout assertion that people do always work in precise patterns? If so, come out and say it. Otherwise carry on with what might be an interesting aside.
