"If "Something" exists, it exists in a certain Quantity, and therefore this "Something"can be measured, quantified, and analysed", says the old wisdom. And I would add to it, that the various "metrics", as FBI likes to call them, offer aid and assistance in logical reasoning, in making conclusions, and formations of the hypotheses, concepts, and ideas, including the Investigative ones. I like to create my own "metrics"; they should be tested and used. - M.N. - 6.6.19
