He has little judgment or decision-making capabilities
He’s a dullard and has no conjecture abilities If you recall, Biff has the following negative characteristics: Among other shenanigans, 2015 Biff gives a sports almanac to 1955 Biff, providing the means for him to become a multi-millionaire and ruining Hill Valley in the process. In Back to the Future II, Biff steals Doc’s time-traveling DeLorean in 2015 for nefarious reasons. Meet Biffīiff Tannen is the main villain in all three Back to the Future movies. Since this is a cultural problem and not a technical one, is there a better metaphor we can use? Please allow me to introduce you to Biff Tannen. I think people get stuck on this, and often will declare metrics or measurements as incorrectly passing The Clairvoyant Test due to the cultural perception that clairvoyants know everything.

Almost every clairvoyant we see in movies and TV can read minds. For example, Miss Cleo, John Edward, and Tyler “The Hollywood Medium” Henry often do make personal judgments and express opinions about future events. It’s no wonder they have a hard time our cultural view of clairvoyants is shaped by the fake ones we see on TV. They have a hard time grasping the rules: the clairvoyant can observe anything but cannot make judgments, read minds or extrapolate. Some people struggle with The Clairvoyant Test. In short, a metric is properly written if a clairvoyant, who only has the power of observation, can identify it.
In a previous post, I wrote about testing metrics with The Clairvoyant Test.
