Like any other entertainment medium, we must create an emotional response in order to succeed. Laughter, fear, joy, affection, surprise, and - most of all - accomplishment. In the end, triggering these feelings from our players is the true judgment of our work. This is the bottom line measurement of success.

A typical medical practice is like an old-fashioned business which keeps all of its records on paper. It can probably track down any individual transaction if it needs to, but it's basically helpless when it comes to overall measurements of performance. And that's the big problem.

Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?

For so long, the fashion industry has designed almost exclusively for a particular woman with particular measurements, and they've never really been challenged on it. We're all consumers, yet we're rarely given a voice within this industry that dictates what we wear.

One important measurement issue concerns the fat tails problem that I mentioned earlier. VAR is concerned with extreme outcomes. If the tails of the probability distributions we are using are too thin, our VAR measures are likely to be too low.

I feel passionately about measurement - about how difficult it is, about how much theory and conceptualization is involved in measurement, and indeed, how much politics is involved.

The important thing is not the measurement of how many or few things you have, but your own state of mind and how you feel about the things you have and don't have.

I don't tell everyone my life history because if everyone knows your inside-leg measurement, how can you surprise them?

 Consistent measurements are such an integral part of our daily lives that it's hard to appreciate what a major accomplishment for humanity they've been. And just as it arose from a political revolution, the metric system remains crucial for the scientific revolutions to come.

Why the metric system...

 from any object observed with a telescope, we can learn what it's made of, how hot it is and how much pressure it's under, as well as whether it's moving, in what direction and how fast. And these six measurements, like six points of light, reveal the history of the universe.

What light can teach us...

 because the outcomes would have to be defined in advanced. Bell showed that the purely quantum approach, where the state is truly indeterminate until measured, has different limits and predicts mixed measurement results that are impossible in the predetermined scenario.
