Very true. A bonus all round would be to make the credits a 'science'. Hence, calibrate them to become something scientifically useful? The present credits already get used as a 'performance' measure. However, that can turn into a complete farce and generate bad feeling... Perhaps the credits measure(s) need to be given a greater level of importance?
