This is such a nice read. This is EXACTLY what I always say about operationalization and quantification: it's about what travels.
"Quantification, as used in real-world institutions, works by removing contextually sensitive information. The process of quantification is designed to produce highly portable information, like a letter grade."

The Limits of Data
Policymakers want to make decisions based on clear data, but important factors are lost when we rely solely on data. A philosopher writes:Jay Lloyd (Issues in Science and Technology)

I have been on a mission to track down what to do with old pet medicines. The pet stores that sell some of them might accept them, but will throw them into the tip. I called the veterinarian clinic, and they said they will take them but throw them into the tip. What?! including anti-biotics and other toxins? This is irresponsible. We don't want these poisons in our landfills damaging the soil.
Evidently, in the UK they have a specific program for collecting pet medicines. Finally, in Australia I found that you can take these medicines to the chemist for disposal. This has only come into effect two years ago! A number of vets don't even know about this.
Please dispose of ALL old and unused medicines thoughtfully!
