This is great. Again proof that any metric that is measured will eventually affect the person being measured.

It reminds me a lot of quantum mechanics:

“The act of observing disturbs the observed“

"En Engine, Not a Camera", a great book and posits that this effect drives a large portion of modern (post-1970s) financial markets.

I prefer, "whatever gets measured gets done." Though it doesn't apply in the quantum realm.

There's always Goodhart's Law as a counterpoint.[1]
