From a talk by Cory House, a self-titled law he's deemed:
> The things most worth measuring are the hardest to measure.
This was intentionally shared after he talked about [[Goodhart’s Law]] about measures becoming targets.
He suggested a measure of success from Warren Buffet, as an example:
> [[Success is when the people you want to love you do love you]] - Warren Buffet

There's also the book from Save as Ever that talked about the ability of humans to predict how *fast* someone could run based on muscle size. That result, based on something we can measure, holds up in the lab – but **not** in high profile races. There, it's the brain's ability to fully recruit the body (beyond the normal limits we put on ourselves to avoid injury) is the key... and impossible to measure.
