I don't care about your spreadsheets. But it's not because I don't care about quantitative assessments, it's because I believe you can't measure everything quantitatively (and put in monetary terms, and make decisions based on that). As an example, much of the trouble we are in today is caused by insufficient education. Climate change denial, avoiding vaccinations, electing idiots as leaders, religious fundamentalism, wars and conquests, lack of rationality in decision making (ahem!) — all these effects would be lessened if we were better educated and more rational. Unless you model the entirety of human civilization in your spreadsheets, they just aren't enough.
