I used to be the same way, now, I'm skeptical that those measures can adequately explain what you experience subjectively.

A Keynesian economist for instance believes that economic understanding can only be empiracly derived by strictly looking at the data. Without an a priori concept of economics you wouldn't even know what charts are relavent, so its a non-starter for me that there is no bias at the outset of this theory. Given the unwillingness to examine the a priori concepts and how they match with reality, it is a given that they are operating under bad assumptions. Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources, but more foundationally are concepts like subjective value theorem and marginal utility, which clearly are a sociological phenomena. Any serious economic analysis has to have baked in the fact that economics is about the subjective decisions of the individuals making choices, as Rothbard put it "Man must act", humans make choices based on what they see in front of them, not on statistics.
