YAS! Thank you for your rec of "Most Likely to Succeed," which really cemented this point for me. "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

That quote seems rather supernatural to me. If something counts that can’t be counted how are you able to explain to me it’s benefits at all?

That's a great question and a hard one to answer on here without being glib. It basically boils down to experience and intuition. It is impossible to explain benefits *a priori* without data.

Actually that is rather false if I understand you correctly. It’s our explanations that create what the relevant data could be.

I think you're swapping out "observational content of any kind" and "quantitative data," and none of the distinctions made in this thread make any sense if you do that
