Seems very subjective/emotive and/or input rather than output focused.

I'm reminded of the old story of the surgeon who charmed all his patients and told them they'd be back on their feet in 4 weeks.

When they were back on their feet in 2 weeks, they praised his surgical skills and magnificent manner to anybody who would listen.

Meanwhile his colleagues told their patients they'd be back on their feet in one week, and usually they were.

The moral of the story is that focusing on inputs can allow or even encourage substandard outputs, and that it's easier to exceed expectations if you set them real low then flatter and charm. It's also true that sometimes the best surgeons are overworked or slightly onto the spectrum and may not be as charming as Dr 4 Weeks. My own experience is of a daughter's orthodontist who must have been having a bad day on her 3rd visit as he was so shockingly impolite that I almost swept up my daughter and walked out on him- but his results are legendary, so I bit my tongue. I'll never see him again, but the daughter did well and that's what matters, surely.
