It's really scary how a tiny amount of a mineral can permanently damage the human mind. I have to admit there's a part of me that almost wants to be skeptical, that mg of a rock could overcome the wonderous self-aware human mind. Every so often I have to remind that skeptical piece of me that it's an idiot and that every human alive is wildly fragile to any number of elements and chemicals.

Onto the article, if I ran a production software system, I'd be collecting data on the health of all my servers.

If I ran a country, I'd collect health data on all my towns (perhaps blood tests of 1% of the population each year).

Of course in malfunctioning environments, measurement is scary to leaders because it can give evidence that they aren't doing their job.
