  Thanks to Jackie for this compelling quote shared at the Michael Horn conversation:
  
  
  Jackie: It is based on the old paradigm of needing to count and measure everything - From the Little Prince "Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: "What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?". They ask: "How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him.
