If you wish to see if a new suit will fit, do you check the price tag?
If you want to know if you can afford it, do you check the size?
There are different measurements for different purposes. A client ought to
be interested in productivity; customers ought to be interested in
readability. Neither metric tells the whole story; both are important.
