I'd recommend including a link to the previous LW article The Importance of Goodhart's Law, which discusses this type of problem (gaming a proxy which imperfectly measures some concept).
Thank you so much for the pointer. I had looked around for prior formulations of the concept but had come up short. This is the type of information that keyword search just can't turn up. Post updated.
Adding to that: I'd like to see it linked at the top rather than the bottom, possibly in a "Related posts:" line or something.
