Quantifying requires numbers, while description does not. I find your comment lacking (description), but I don't have a meaningful numeric value handy for how m

  Sounds to me like those against "measurement" are too lazy to argue to make their point or don't want to have their views challenged. That may be fine in isolation, but we are a community trying to solve problems; opinions ("lacking") are useless in this realm.

  >Quantifying requires numbers, while description does not. That statement is equivalent to, "Uantifying requires words that start with U, while in complete contrast Wuantifying requires words that start with W." Granted I should have said, "not meaningfully distinct," but the point is that the only reason there appears to be a boundary between Uantifying and Wuantifying is because there is one group of people that know a lot of W-words and almost no U-words, and another group of people that know almost no W-words but many U-words. Each group thinks they see a "material" boundary while in reality the only distinguishing line is edge of their own familiarity.
