But how would you, for instance, measure 'purpose'?

Sometimes it's necessary to use brain and
think, making measurements can't substitute
that. Surprise?
well, yes, but your brain is not exactly what I would call 'measuring device'.
Good. You shouldn't call it "measuring device",
because it is not.
And, well, worshipping measuring devices is
stupid. Of course, people worshipping measuring
devices can't know it is stupid, because their
measuring devices can't measure stupidity.
Actually, dealing with any serious, advanced
terms is out of the range of measuring devices,
physics and exact sciences in general. They're
too primitive for that.
