That's my impression too, seeing the insistence on numbers. > So, what do I measure to make this an objective problem report? That seems to be the crux of the matter: how to measure subjective usability issues (aka user experience) when simple reports along the lines of "A is much better than B for everyday work" are not enough. The same problem already impaired the "fair scheduler" discussion.
