Blame Mckinsey and their ilk: "what can be measured can be managed".

(I refuse to utter the above phrase without accompanying it with tjis: "not everything that counts can be counted")

It's worse than that. Any sufficiently motivated person can phrase data any way they choose, particularly when their bonus is tied to it. Nor does the consumer of the data always validate that data. I've never seen a manager read a report they requested. That is on top of your suffix which I agree with a well.
