As long as something looks like one and is used like one, it is a metric. However, I was wrong.</p> <p>Metrics are more like champagne: only what comes from the Champagne region may be sold under the name. Everything else is sparkling wine.</p> <p>Likewise, metrics are only metrics if they were produced in the <em>Vallée des Métriques</em>. Everything that does not originate from there is just a sparkling roll-up.</p>
