A common saying in my office is "if we can measure it, we can manage it," i.e. experience has shown us that ambiguity is counter-productive. We set goals using the SMART method.

Thank you for your answers, John. I wasn't trying to chastise you, just trying to point out that a discussion like this can be very volatile, and if we don't all try hard, it can easily get out of hand, to the detriment of any potential good that might have resulted. There is an interfaith dialogue going on here, so there's plenty of kindling lying about if you want to start a fire.
