It sounds like a profound wisdom and on a very surface level it does make sense, but think of this: if you can assess that a measure is a bad one, this means that you have your own intrinsic preferences, otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell that!

Therefore, if you are unhappy with a measure, it means solely that it doesn't capture all of your preferences properly. Which is a technical problem rather than a philosophical one.
