The core charm of quantification lies in its ability to significantly increase the cost of making mistakes—this may sound intimidating, but on the contrary, it is precisely because the risks are laid out before you that you are compelled to question, to verify, and to truly think through every step.

Most people's poverty is essentially trapped in one pitfall after another. Their time in this life is spent in a cycle of stepping into pits and climbing out of them. There are many people with strong motivation, but very few who can grasp the big picture and persevere to the end.

Why? Because true cultivation requires enduring trials. Most people give up after the first or second failure and never reach the moment of qualitative change. Quantification serves exactly as such a filtering mechanism—it uses hard data and logic to weed out those who are merely impulsive, leaving behind only those who are truly willing to think deeply.
