Another article on the same topic

As we grow more and more dependent on electronics to do things like generate metrics on stuff like exercise. One has to ask, if we are paying attention to what is being harvested.
I think a parallel question to that is: Are we paying so much attention to gathering metrics about military training that we are forgetting the point of the training?
It seems that in some organizations (military and civilian), there is more effort devoted to gathering metrics than there is devoted to the actual operations that are the whole point of the organization in the first place.
