When co-founders disagree on transparency with their board

Our board keeps asking for growth metrics that make us look good rather than metrics that actually help us understand our business and my co-founder thinks we should just give them what they want but I think we're setting ourselves up for worse problems down the road. We've been going in circles on this for weeks and I can feel the tension building between what we tell ourselves privately and what we're willing to defend together.
