    I agree with you it’s complete bullshit metric, but since the world has decided to adopt it as a measurement, it’s real as far as real world consequences are concerned.

    It’s like debt (promise) - if a society has decided that a promise made has to be kept, then it’s real and needs to be fulfilled, even if it’s just someone’s words that are not tangible.
