I very much like your strategizing, the points you make about the necessity of them, and am going to do my best to implement something similar as well. Although, right now I'm solidly in the camp of not making such goals until I can get my kid to sleep through the night again. No nap, early bed time is not working as I wanted it to. Yet.

It usually involves fixing some sort of defect and then someone complaining about something and then us having to prove that what they're complaining about makes no statistical difference.
