"Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks"

Whenever one defines success metrics, some will game the system for the sole purpose of achieving said metric. Another way of putting that is: "Any metrics that starts being used as a performance evaluation stops being a useful metric at precisely that time.".

What we are up against here is human nature, and I don't really think that there is any way to fix that.
