None of which means I wouldn't like the numbers you ask for, but together the points I mentioned show how the numbers might be far less useful than you think they will be.

I agree getting accurate numbers will be tough, and avoiding their manipulation will also be tough, but the posters who don't want numbers to measure success confound me. It's fine to have a different plan, but there should be some way to measure its success or failure. And the new clear and hold plan should be able to show that cleared and held areas are better off than uncleared areas. If they can't show that, what's the point?
