Dumb framework for dealing with incompetence.

"I'm so incompetent that more data is going to lead to worse outcomes! So let me stick my head in the sand and not measure!"

Imagine if any other profession operated under this framework:

"Ehhh, if we inspect too hard we might make a repair on this airplane that will cause further damage, lets just not do the inspection"

Do you think tearing apart a working airplane and putting it back together in order to inspect it between every flight is a safe practice?

Did you see the 737 door plug accident?

You are missing part of the picture here. And that part is not that everyone else is dumb but you.

Do you think this is....the same thing as a continuous glucose monitor?

Mathematically, yes. The probabilities involved are different, however.
