If i read parent charitably i find things i can agree too, would phrase them differently thought.

> Most folks don't naturally like to measure things.

Heuristics save a lot of energy in contrast to critical thought.

> Most people view the world through their own personal lens and they categorize phenomena through their experiences.

Our perception is often coloured/distorted by our beliefs, which then lets information through that agrees with our presuppositions.

> It makes it hard to "sell" the idea of measurement, since most people only see the things they're predisposed to see.

I often experienced people reacting annoyed when i cited studies, could have been my tone, could have been me/them wanting to win/be right.

I think my tone came across as more elitist than I meant. I certainly suffer from all of these issues! I enjoy working with data and ML so I'm aware of and try to actively combat them in myself but I'd be lying if I were to say I haven't succumbed to these problems myself in the past and don't continue to do so.
