- 4:32between
- 4:32its
- 4:33legs.
- 4:33And
- 4:33this
- 4:33was
- 4:33essentially
- 4:34what
- 4:34cost
- 4:35the
- 4:35Americans
- 4:36victory
- 4:36during
- 4:37the
- 4:37Vietnam
- 4:37War.
- 4:37So
- 4:38the
- 4:38lesson
- 4:39to
- 4:39be
- 4:40drawn
- 4:40from
- 4:40this
- 4:40is
- 4:40that
- 4:41what
- 4:41is
- 4:41easily
- 4:41measured.
- 4:42Is
- 4:42not
- 4:42always
- 4:42the
- 4:43most
- 4:43important
- 4:43metric.
- 4:44You
- 4:44know,
- 4:45there's
- 4:45a
- 4:45tendency
- 4:45for
- 4:45people
- 4:46to
- 4:46sort
- 4:46of
- 4:46focus
- 4:46on
- 4:47the
- 4:47most
- 4:47easily
- 4:48measured
- 4:48metrics,
- 4:49the
- 4:49most
- 4:50quantifiable
- 4:50metrics.
- 4:51But
- 4:52in
- 4:52reality,
- 4:54these
- 4:54are
- 4:54not
- 4:54always
- 4:54the
- 4:55most
- 4:55important
- 4:55thing
- 4:55because
- 4:56reality
- 4:56is.
- 4:56Messy
- 4:57and
- 4:57there's
- 4:58things
- 4:58like
- 4:58psychology
- 4:59that
- 4:59we
- 4:59need
- 4:59to
- 4:59take
- 4:59account
- 5:00of
- 5:00and
- 5:00psychology
- 5:01can't
- 5:01be
- 5:01metrified.
- 5:03So
- 5:04this
- 5:04is
- 5:04essentially.
- 5:05It
- 5:06tells
- 5:06us
- 5:06that
- 5:06we
- 5:06need
- 5:07to
- 5:07pay
- 5:07more
- 5:07attention
- 5:07to
- 5:08sort
- 5:08of
- 5:08qualitative
- 5:09metrics
- 5:11instead
- 5:11of
- 5:11just
- 5:11the
- 5:11quantitative
- 5:12ones.
- 5:12Yeah,
- 5:13that's
- 5:15a
- 5:15really
- 5:15wonderful
- 5:15story
- 5:16about
- 5:17measuring
- 5:17the
- 5:17wrong
- 5:17thing.
- 5:18And
- 5:18there's
- 5:19a
- 5:19book
- 5:19that's
- 5:20thrust
- 5:20at
- 5:21anyone

- 5:22called
- 5:22Measure
- 5:22what
- 5:23Matters

- 5:25I
- 5:25think
- 5:25points
- 5:25to
- 5:26some
- 5:26of
- 5:26the
- 5:27mistakes
- 5:27that
- 5:27were
- 5:27made
- 5:27there.
- 5:28I've
- 5:28got

- 5:31at
- 5:31the
- 5:31birth
- 5:31of
- 5:31big
- 5:31data.
- 5:33Suddenly
- 5:34of
- 5:34storing
- 5:34information
- 5:35became
- 5:36cheaper
- 5:36than

- 5:52Right,

- 5:54the

- 5:54lake.
- 5:54And

- 6:01at
- 6:01the
- 6:02end.
- 6:03But
- 6:03at
- 6:03the
- 6:03time,
- 6:03I
- 6:03was
- 6:03representing
- 6:04all

- 6:08length
- 6:08while
- 6:09the
- 6:09lake
- 6:09was
- 6:09filled.
- 6:10But
- 6:10then
- 6:10came
- 6:11the
- 6:11time
- 6:11to
- 6:11be
- 6:11like,
- 6:11okay,
- 6:11well
- 6:12how

- 6:15no,
- 6:16you
- 6:16can't
- 6:16really
- 6:17write
- 6:17SQL
- 6:17against
- 6:17this.
- 6:18You
- 6:18know,
- 6:18it
- 6:18doesn't
- 6:18perform
- 6:19that
- 6:19well.
- 6:19And
- 6:19I
- 6:19was
- 6:19like,
- 6:20okay,
- 6:20well
- 6:20how
- 6:20about
- 6:20we
- 6:21point
- 6:21some
- 6:21of
- 6:21our
- 6:21reporting
- 6:22tools
- 6:22and
- 6:22at
- 6:22least
- 6:22we
- 6:22build
- 6:23a
- 6:23dashboard.
- 6:23Well,
- 6:24it
- 6:24doesn't
- 6:24really
- 6:25work
- 6:25with
- 6:26those
- 6:26that
- 6:27effectively.
- 6:27And
- 6:27suddenly
- 6:28we
- 6:28had
- 6:28this
- 6:28huge
- 6:29mountain
- 6:29of
- 6:29what
- 6:29was
- 6:29effectively
- 6:31useless
- 6:31data
- 6:32until
- 6:32the,
- 6:32you
- 6:32know,
- 6:33years
- 6:33later,
- 6:33the
- 6:33technology
- 6:33came
- 6:34wrong
- 6:34to
- 6:35make
- 6:35that
- 6:36more
- 6:36accessible.
- 6:36But
- 6:36again,
- 6:37similar
- 6:38to
- 6:38the
- 6:38McNamara
- 6:38fallacy,
- 6:39we
- 6:40picked
- 6:40something
- 6:40that
- 6:41was
- 6:41easy
- 6:41to
- 6:42measure
- 6:42and
- 6:42the
- 6:42most
- 6:42obvious
- 6:43thing,
- 6:43right?
- 6:44And
- 6:44it
- 6:44was
- 6:44most
- 6:45comfortable.
- 6:45And
- 6:45it
- 6:45was
- 6:45the
- 6:46thing
- 6:47as
- 6:47well.
- 6:48And
- 6:48at
- 6:48least
- 6:48there
- 6:49was
- 6:49no
- 6:49bodies
- 6:49involved
- 6:49in
- 6:49what
- 6:50we
- 6:50were
- 6:50doing.
- 6:50But
- 6:50it
- 6:50was
- 6:51the
- 6:51thing
- 6:52which
- 6:52was
- 6:52easiest
- 6:53to
- 6:53achieve.
- 6:53You
- 6:54know,
- 6:54I
- 6:54can
- 6:54think
- 6:54of
- 6:54different
- 6:54ways
- 6:54we
- 6:55could
- 6:55approach
- 6:55that.
- 6:55But
- 6:56like,
- 6:56if
- 6:56you
- 6:57put
- 6:57yourself
- 6:57back
- 6:57in
- 6:57McNamara's
- 6:58shoes
- 6:59in
- 6:59the
- 6:5970s,
- 6:59like,
- 7:00how
- 7:00might
- 7:00you
- 7:00have
- 7:02begun
- 7:02to
- 7:02approach
- 7:03measuring,
- 7:04you
- 7:04know,
- 7:04the,
- 7:04the
- 7:04sentiment
- 7:05of
- 7:05the
- 7:05Vietnamese
- 7:06people
- 7:06or
- 7:06even
- 7:06the
- 7:07American
- 7:07people,
- 7:07which
- 7:07I'm
- 7:07sure.
- 7:08Also
- 7:08tanked
- 7:08in
- 7:08the,
- 7:08in
- 7:08the
- 7:09face
- 7:09of
- 7:09growing
- 7:09body
- 7:09counts
- 7:10on
- 7:10both
- 7:10sides.
- 7:11Yeah,
- 7:11well,
- 7:11I
- 7:11think
- 7:12it
- 7:12would
- 7:13probably
- 7:13be
- 7:13wiser
- 7:14to
- 7:14have
- 7:14focused
- 7:15on
- 7:15the
- 7:15sentiments
- 7:15of
- 7:15the
- 7:16American
- 7:16people
- 7:16because
- 7:16it,
- 7:17it
- 7:17would
- 7:17have
- 7:17been
- 7:18easier
- 7:18to
- 7:18gauge.
- 7:20And
- 7:20this
- 7:20could
- 7:20have
- 7:20been
- 7:20done
- 7:21through
- 7:21polling,

- 8:02a
- 8:02major

- 8:03at
- 8:03that
- 8:03time.
- 8:04One
- 8:04of
- 8:04the
- 8:04key
- 8:04things
- 8:05about
- 8:05using
- 8:05metrics
- 8:06is
- 8:06you
- 8:06should
- 8:06never
- 8:06rely

- 8:07any
- 8:07one
- 8:07metric.
- 8:08The
- 8:09more
- 8:09metrics
- 8:09you
- 8:09use,
- 8:09the
- 8:10more
- 8:10reliable
- 8:10your
- 8:10data.
- 8:11And
- 8:12so
- 8:12it
- 8:12would
- 8:12have
- 8:13been
- 8:13wise
- 8:13to
- 8:13sort
- 8:13of
- 8:14use
- 8:14a
- 8:14wide
- 8:14range
- 8:15of
- 8:15different
- 8:15metrics.
- 8:16Especially
- 8:17when
- 8:17you're
- 8:17measuring
- 8:17qualitative
- 8:18data,
- 8:19you
- 8:20need
- 8:20as
- 8:20many
- 8:20metrics
- 8:21as
- 8:21you
- 8:21can,
- 8:21because
- 8:22qualitative
- 8:22data
- 8:23obviously
- 8:23cannot
- 8:23be
- 8:23quantified.
- 8:24You
- 8:25using
- 8:25simple
- 8:26things
- 8:26like,
- 8:26you
- 8:27know,
- 8:27numerical
- 8:27figures.
- 8:28And
- 8:28so,
- 8:29you
- 8:29know,
- 8:29something
- 8:30as
- 8:30complex
- 8:30as
- 8:30human
- 8:30psychology
- 8:31requires
- 8:32as
- 8:32many
- 8:32metrics
- 8:32as
- 8:33possible
- 8:33to,
- 8:33to,
- 8:34to
- 8:34be
- 8:34accurate.
- 8:35So
- 8:35that's
- 8:36one
- 8:36way,
- 8:36you
- 8:36know.
- 8:37Well,
- 8:37it's
- 8:37actually
- 8:37many
- 8:37ways
- 8:38that
- 8:38you
- 8:38would
- 8:38have,
- 8:38you
- 8:39would
- 8:39have
- 8:39measured
- 8:40public
- 8:40sentiment
- 8:42in
- 8:42Vietnam.
- 8:42It
- 8:42would
- 8:42have
- 8:43been
- 8:43a
- 8:43bit
- 8:43more
- 8:43difficult
- 8:44because
- 8:44obviously,
- 8:45especially
- 8:45during
- 8:45war,
- 8:46when
- 8:46you're
- 8:47faced
- 8:47with
- 8:47people
- 8:47in
- 8:48the
- 8:48jungle,
- 8:49you
- 8:49know,
- 8:49you
- 8:49can't
- 8:50easily
- 8:50get
- 8:50data
- 8:50from
- 8:50them.
- 8:51So
- 8:51that
- 8:51would
- 8:51have
- 8:52really
- 8:53been
- 8:53more
- 8:53difficult.
- 8:53But
- 8:54it
- 8:54was
- 8:55possible.
- 8:55It
- 8:55could
- 8:55have
- 8:55been
- 8:55done
- 8:56through
- 8:56espionage.
- 8:57It
- 8:58could
- 8:58have
- 8:58been
- 8:58done
- 8:58through
- 8:59looking
- 9:00at
- 9:00intercepting,
- 9:01sort
- 9:01of,
- 9:01you

- 12:34And
- 12:35you

- 13:07yeah,
- 13:07people's
- 13:07stated

- 14:07Whether
- 14:08this
- 14:08has
- 14:08gotten
- 14:09better
- 14:09with
- 14:09a
- 14:09larger
- 14:10sample
- 14:10size,
- 14:10I
- 14:10don't
- 14:11know.
- 14:12Possibly,
- 14:13I
- 14:13would
- 14:13say
- 14:14statistically
- 14:14probably,
- 14:15because
- 14:16if
- 14:16you
- 14:16have
- 14:17a

- 14:21more
- 14:21honest.
- 14:22Because
- 14:22I
- 14:22think
- 14:22that
- 14:23the
- 14:23number
- 14:23of
- 14:23people
- 14:23who
- 14:23actually
- 14:24give
- 14:24inaccurate
- 14:25figures
- 14:25is
- 14:25actually
- 14:26not
- 14:26the
- 14:26majority.
- 14:26I
- 14:27think
- 14:27it's
- 14:27actually
- 14:27a
- 14:27minority.
- 14:28I
- 14:28think

- 14:28people
- 14:29probably
- 14:29are
- 14:29more
- 14:29or
- 14:30less
- 14:30giving

- 14:32And
- 14:32so
- 14:32if
- 14:32you
- 14:32have
- 14:33a
- 14:33larger
- 14:33sort
- 14:34of

- 14:37of
- 14:37honest
- 14:38people.
- 14:38But

- 14:40in
- 14:41just

- 33:23Italy.
- 33:23And
- 33:23I
- 33:23think
- 33:24there
- 33:24was
- 33:24a
- 33:24husband
- 33:25and
- 33:25wife.
- 33:25And
- 33:25someone
- 33:25said
- 33:26to
- 33:26the
- 33:26wife,
- 33:27what
- 33:27do
- 33:27you
- 33:27do
- 33:27with
- 33:28your
- 33:28day?
- 33:28She
- 33:28says,
- 33:28oh,
- 33:28I

- 33:29And
- 33:30the
- 33:30first
- 33:30answer,
- 33:31very
- 33:31much
- 33:31in
- 33:31the
- 33:31metric
- 33:32mindset
- 33:32was
- 33:32like,
- 33:33well,

- 33:37Right.

- 34:31and
- 34:31the
- 34:32story
- 34:32is
- 34:32in
- 34:32fact
- 34:32the
- 34:32crucial
- 34:33part?
- 34:33Okay,
- 34:34yeah,
- 34:35so
- 34:35there's
- 34:35an
- 34:35interesting
- 34:36study
- 34:37about
- 34:37this
- 34:38and
- 34:39there's
- 34:39an
- 34:39interesting
- 34:39phenomenon
- 34:40known
- 34:40as
- 34:40the
- 34:40identifiable
- 34:41victim
- 34:42effect,
- 34:43which
- 34:43was
- 34:43sort
- 34:43of
- 34:43shown
- 34:44by
- 34:44this
- 34:44study.
- 34:46So
- 34:47basically,
- 34:47in
- 34:472007,
- 34:49a
- 34:49team
- 34:49of
- 34:49researchers
- 34:51gave
- 34:52each
- 34:52study
- 34:53participant
- 34:53money
- 34:53to
- 34:54donate
- 34:54and
- 34:54presented
- 34:55them
- 34:55with
- 34:55two
- 34:55charity
- 34:56campaigns.
- 34:57One
- 34:58was
- 34:58based
- 34:58on
- 34:58famine
- 34:59statistics
- 34:59in
- 34:59Africa
- 35:00and
- 35:01one
- 35:01was
- 35:01based
- 35:01on
- 35:01the
- 35:02story
- 35:02of
- 35:02a
- 35:02single
- 35:02starving
- 35:03girl
- 35:03named
- 35:04Rokia.
- 35:06What's
- 35:06interesting
- 35:07is
- 35:07that
- 35:07one
- 35:08would
- 35:08expect
- 35:09that
- 35:09a
- 35:09lot
- 35:09more
- 35:10people
- 35:10would
- 35:10donate
- 35:11to
- 35:11the
- 35:11sort
- 35:12of
- 35:12famine
- 35:12statistics
- 35:13because
- 35:13it
- 35:13would
- 35:13give
- 35:13a
- 35:14much
- 35:14broader
- 35:15sort
- 35:16of
- 35:16harder
- 35:16edge.
- 35:17Right.
- 35:17Of
- 35:17the
- 35:18scale
- 35:18of
- 35:18the
- 35:18problem.
- 35:20It
- 35:20would
- 35:20give
- 35:20a
- 35:20better
- 35:20idea
- 35:21of
- 35:21the
- 35:21scale
- 35:21of
- 35:21the
- 35:21problem.
- 35:22But
- 35:22the
- 35:23opposite
- 35:23was
- 35:23actually
- 35:23true.
- 35:24People
- 35:24donated
- 35:25a
- 35:25lot
- 35:25more
- 35:25to
- 35:25the
- 35:25single
- 35:26starving
- 35:26guild
- 35:27than
- 35:27they
- 35:27did
- 35:27to
- 35:27the
- 35:28campaign
- 35:28about
- 35:28the
- 35:29statistics.
- 35:30And
- 35:30this
- 35:31is
- 35:31because
- 35:32humans
- 35:34we're
- 35:34not
- 35:34really
- 35:35good
