Yes, there are exceptions to every rule.

Yes, there is no panacea.

However, many things (when dealing with comparisons across MILLIONS of people) are easily evaluated.

For instance, math problems are easy to put on a standardized test to evaluate someone's grasp of concepts.

And just so it is not lost on anyone: there is NO solution that will work in 100% of scenarios.
