Bad straw man argument

Is there a name for the phenomenon when a company or group has access to all of the metrics for a product or good then makes foolish decisions using that information?

Right now Arrowhead can deflect all criticism of their actions by saying "we made this decision based on the numbers" while ignoring the fact that metrics aren't magic numbers blindly meant to be followed, you are supposed to use them to discover underlying reasons for why those numbers exist in the first place.

This patch is a big L for me and a bad omen for what is to come of this game if the devs are making their decisions like this.

I thought they were just paying someone to half assedly maintain MAL for the last few years, but it turns out they were paying someone to build a back end and create a browsable database so they can sell user's information for their own profit.

One of the original Reddit memes was quite prescient:

I really liked DRG. Have maxed out all the classes and enjoy carrying people through Haz5 and EDD. However, DRG:Survivor from the very first announcement just seemed like nothing more than a cash grab to me and made me uninterested in it.

You are putting in a lot of effort to die on the dumbest hill ever.

Because the guy wasn't responding to that prompt. He was responding to the question:

Fuck off, how come most sports don’t have fights but hockey players are special like that?
