Your concern is valid. I assume you are objecting to the usefulness
and interpretation of the scaled metric and not to the fact that both
scaled and default non scaled metrics are independently available.

I agree and I am interested in designing a metric that is useful in
most circumstances. I am open to suggestions to cover the case of
power constraint and acceleration scenario.

Thanks,
