Fair, but on the flip side, the easy thing to notice is the amount of BS that slips though. It is often much harder to quantify the amount of bullshit that the manager blocked, without more visibility of the dumb requests or whatever that the manager in receiving. Even if a manager let nearly zero bullshit make it to you, from your perspective you can't always tell if that was your manager being good at that, or if your manager just received very little bullshit to deal with in the first place because their manager was good, (unless they happen to mention some of the non-sense they are blocking for you at some point or other).
