I like terseness. Just because you haven't heard of something it doesn't preclude it from being a well-indexed idea in human folklore. Google is your friend.

  Goodhart's law/McNamara fallacy: when you put value in a measure, you create incentives to trick it. Here is aa equivalent statement, as terse and clearer, than the comment you made above.

    So, would that same reasoning apply to putting value in human lives? Is that an incentive to trick the measurement?

      Not really. I am proposing a theoretical solution to a philosophical problem. You are the one jumping to imagining how it could be implemented in a biased way.

        I am not doing any of that. I am just using your own argument against you.

          You are misconstructing my argument to create an artificial contradiction. Talk about an exercise in futility. If you see a flaw, please point it clearly.
