"In the past, [the leader's] susceptibility to quantification had led them to take excessive comfort in [the analyst's] statistical optimism, embodied, for example, in tables purporting to correlate [cause and effect][Others] had done little to assert the importance of things which could not be quantified"Paraphrased from Arthur Schlesinger It pains me to quote this passage.

These methodologies are just a symptom of a greater problem with its roots in the changes made during the industrial revolution.
