Incentives and Measurements

Ken Kitzke (971129.1100 ET)--

A big hurrah for your simple, direct, and (as far as I'm concerned) correct
analysis of incentives and measurements. The man in the trenches is the one
who knows what really works.

I am quite surprised that you would characterize Ken Kitzke's analysis of
incentives and measurements as simple, direct, and correct. I'm even more
surprised that you would take the position that the man in the trenches is
the one who knows what really works. That latter assertion is every bit the
shibboleth as is, "You get what you measure."
