That completely misses the point. It’s not about what’s good. It’s not even about what’s better. It’s only about how much better, the distance between theirs and ours. Better is objective only when like aspects of competing items are compared within accepted bounds of precision using evidence.
The interesting thing about measuring stuff isn’t that people are otherwise entirely wrong in their assumptions more than 80% of the time, but that they are typically wrong by one or more orders of magnitude.
