You missed the key word "obsessed," and so I think you're agreeing, just with different words. A counterpoint, though, just for fun. Optimizing for one thing usually means tradeoffs in another. Optimize for space, lose out on time. Optimize for efficiency, lose out on resiliency. Time spent optimizing one metric means time lost for working on others, that kind of thing. There are a lot of qualities you want from those who work on policy, but "hyperfocusing on pet policies and specific metrics" ain't one of them.
