it just means you think you are smarter than person who decided on Y, which may be true or maybe not true regardless of OKR process.

there are many business decisions based on educated guesses, not just OKRs.

The whole premise of deciding on Y or the methodology how it was decided was invalid in the first place. > there are many business decisions based on educated guesses, not just OKRs. Yes, but you can present ideas much better with simple words than forced numbers. You should take educated guesses, but you shouldn't force things into some sort of measurable numbers, unless they specifically make sense in that context. Essentially goals and tasks should be what they are, specific to those goals and tasks and not forced into some specific format of a measurable number.
