A large part of statistics is devoted to making valid inference from noisy samples, largely by making sensible assumptions. Even in your example, it is common practice to assess a surgeon on outcomes of surgery, even though a lot of a surgeon's work does not lead to surgery.

We aren't claiming to assess the wide practice of law, just litigation. We do Litigation Analytics.
