There's research in neuroscience and psychiatry that conclude humans do not make decisions based upon hard facts.
Whether it's due to our culture or a human truism regardless isn't understood.
Just presenting a spreadsheet full of red and saying "We're screwing the pooch." makes me people uneasy. It doesn't give them context, which I think is the key.
