This is also interesting in how it relates to the study of airplane crashes and the strong, relatively immediate feedback that these provide. It seems that auto safety was much more slow to catch on, and required odd forces to bring the topic to the forefront.

This also has an interesting interaction with a small startup essentially searching for the important metric for its survival.

For profits have the benefit of having profit/positive cash flow as a guide that not for profits do not. These are probably much better metrics for small startups given that success in any stated altruistic endeavours are ultimately going to show up in these two metrics anyway (and must in order for a startup to be sustainable).
