Different groups — frontline workers, auditors, the public — value different aspects of evaluation for different reasons. It’s important to keep these competing values in mind.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.” (Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass)

government hackers began developing destructive malware meant to disrupt Iran’s
nascent nuclear program as early as 2006, and deployed an early version of the
worm in Iran the following year. But it wasn’t until 2010 that the first public
reports about the cyberattack—dubbed Stuxnet—began to surface. At around the
same time as the U.S. was working on Stuxnet, it attempted a similar attack on
North Korea’s nuclear program. That effort failed: The malware never reached
the computers that controlled the country’s nuclear centrifuges. But it wasn’t
reported until 2015, years after it happened. Just this weekend, The New York
Times described a series of cyberattacks on North Korea’s missile launches that
took place in 2016, during Barack Obama’s final year as president. The timing
of these landmark reports emphasizes the yawning gap that often opens between a
high-profile state-on-state cyberattack and the moment it’s revealed to the
