Not to be critical of a leading light, but that's plain sloppy talk.
It's actually a nice statement but rather lacking in meaning...since
everything "could" be measured.
The issue is whether it can be measured accurately, meaningfully,
etc.
Bacal's Corollary:
What can easily be measured is often not worth measuring, while what
is difficult to measure is often what we need to attend to.
