When teams practice false data-driven decision making

Our product team has fallen into this pattern where we say we're being data-driven but we're actually just cherry-picking metrics that support what we already wanted to do, and everyone knows it but no one calls it out. We've shipped three features in the last quarter that we all quietly know aren't working but we keep building on top of them because admitting we were wrong feels impossible.
