"The fire has spread to 50% of the house."
"Now the fire has spread to 90% of the house."
"Meh, the metrics are meaningless because they are correlated. The house is fine."
- RandomThoughts3 2y agoThe issue is not the metrics. The boundaries are meaningless because the issue was that there was a fire from the start. The correct analogy would be "Fire in the house boundary on the brink of being breached. We can confirm that 49% has already burned and the threshold of 50% will have burned in the next minute. This is the second catastrophic boundary to be crossed: the fume in the house boundary was breached five minutes ago." which is indeed a completely pointless way of looking at the issue.
