There's little or no evidence that metrics *don't* measure anything useful,
either. In fact, there's little or no evidence about metrics at all, at
least that I've seen. Can anyone provide citations of work that
shows how metrics correlate to quality/maintenance cost? We don't seem to
be having much substantial discussion without this information. ( "I hate
'em" "I like 'em" "I don't know")
