I definitely don't suggest ignoring the care-o-meter entirely. Emotions are the compass.
Rather, I advocate not trusting the care-o-meter on big numbers, because it's not calibrated for big numbers. Use it on small things where it is calibrated, and then multiply yourself if you need to deal with big problems.
