no usability as in ease for a user to understand how they are doing something is in fact a measureable and important metric.
Similarly security policy has to consider users and their allowed behavior and levels of authentication. I'm sorry but computers don't exist in a vaccuum and have users
Any metric of usability requires that the evaluator make a series of arbitrary and capricious assumptions first.
Even a person who doesn’t accept the fundamental inhumanity of computing has to recognize that all usability evaluators have some stake in the subjects, process or broader ideas they’re evaluating and do nothing to document or control for these assumptions and often obfuscate them.
Security is at least measured in ways that can sometimes avoid a big ol bag of made up assumptions about what’s important.
emulator what are you talking about you test usability by trials with prospective users or other humans. Something not being testable by a machine doesn't mean it can't be tested
Never seen incorrect or completely off base results come from a trial. Good thing we have an unimpeachable method of designing studies and evaluating results that never falls victim to systemic problems whose root lies in the very assumptions our institutions are founded upon.
Wait, is that Unpublished Corporate Research’s music I hear?

Oh well if it’s a trial that changes everything.
