ABSTRACT
Proxies should not be classified as failures or successes because, in most cases, they are impossible translations of abstract, polysemous goals to supposedly univocal concrete measures. The “success” or “failure” of a proxy does not depend on its actual accuracy as a valid indicator of goal attainment, but on a social system’s willingness to maintain an illusion of its accomplishment.
