QF is an awful idea. Literally every assumption it relies on is wrong... And probably it exacerbates the situation as implementing QF likely causes further degradation of the underlying assumptions... By Goodhart's law "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

It's incredible how, whenever people try to come up with some centralized framework, ideology or plan to improve things, they make things worse and the cost falls on someone else's shoulders.

I've been feeling the effects of this deeply flawed philosophy in my life literally every day yet I had no say on it.
