The problem is that no matter which metric you choose, I can pick another one leading me to have opposite outcomes in a manner that you cannot argue with. The importance of your objective metric will still be subjective based on how important I think each metric system is. Making the entire thing subjective.



You are confusing cause and effect. The measure itself is the objective part. What you do or what you believe from that number is the subjective part.

If objectivity were important to you then you would use many measures.
