In much the same way that unit test works best (see recent thread)
when it concentrates on validating output, not the way the output was
achieved.  Human tracking also works best when measuring results, not
the way those results were achieved.

In this vein, the most successful software companies (e.g. Apple,
Google, Microsoft, etc.) have had many articles written - over the
years - about the games their developers play during office hours,
their toys and gadgets, and their private projects and the like.
Somehow they seem to have managed perfectly well without timekeepers
and stop-watches measuring their every move.
