The obvious troll material in the first part and the sheer uselessness of the 'metrics' you propose. It's not a useful analytical tool, and makes no attempt to solve the problem of subjectivity (merely to aggregate it)... and since the study hasn't been done we have absolutely nothing in the way of results.

If you want to have a vote for for something, here's an idea: vote on the metrics themselves, not their results. Yes, that means you have to do the hard work of coming up with actual metrics.
