But if you look back at the history of impact measures and AUP, you’ll see lots of skulls; people say “this problem dooms AUP”, and I say “I think we’re talking about conceptually different things and that you’re a little overconfident; probably just a design choice issue”. It then ends up being a solvable design choice issue. So by Laplace’s Rule of Succession, I’d be surprised if this were The Insurmountable Problem That Dooms AUP.
But if you look back at the history of impact measures, you’ll see a lot of skulls; people say “this impact measure will work”, and I say “I think you’re overconfident; I’m sure I can find a way it fails”. It then ends up being a solvable “break the impact measure” problem. So by Laplace’s Rule of Succession, I’d be surprised if this approach were The Ultimate Impact Measure That Works.
