Metrics are subjective, too! What metrics do you choose? How do you value them? How do you interpret them? Computers especially but science generally lead people to favor the quantifiable to a pathological degree. Software development, like most other complex endeavors, is stubbornly resistant to predictive quantification. It's also easy to criticize other people's work, but it's a lazy path to being right. There are an infinite number of ways in which something can be considered inadequate or a failure. The number of ways in which a something is good or useful is much smaller. Find the terms on which it's trying to succeed and criticize it there, if you have to criticize something. But introducing your own yardstick and saying "you failed!" is cheap.
