I think this blog post about metrics vs. measurement gets to the heart of the problem with SMART goals. If M is defined to require a metric instead of a measurement, you end up with a lot of extraneous, wasteful busy-work (surveys, presentations, numbers of words/pages/LOCs, etc.) that detract from actually doing what you want to do. Perhaps REAL goals are a better way to go.
