The problem is that if you use *any* system for measurement, humans will
game it. It's the nature of the beast. The only way to prevent gaming
the system is for there to be a human standing over it going "Stop it.
You're gaming the system rather than playing the game."
Or for them to not know what the system is. Security through obscurity, but it
works for a while.
The other way is to make the system measure exactly what you care about.
The only real problem with "gaming" of systems is when what you are
measuring is a proxy for what you actually want.
