Everyone who touches a TSO keyboard happens to *include* developers. If the
productivity measure the company used works equally well for developers and
non-developers, this doesn't disqualify it from being a valid way to measure
the productivity of developers. It might not measure specific "development"
activity, but it is a way to measure developers productivity.

Excellent, we agree! When measuring developers productivity, there's a lot more
to it than simply counting lines of code and function points.
