To sum up my argument, the decimal approach does not really come into play dealing with not so tangible. It may suit revenue, customs, etc. but not some other services. A similar approach of defining (numeric) goals/targets/timelines was introduced during former PM Shaukat Aziz’s government. While filling in those lengthy tables, one could feel the futility of the exercise, since numbers were not involved.

I wish your sage Grade-22 officer had applied himself more in his younger years, not to face this trauma at a time when he is required to devise crucial policies.
