I can think of a few interesting times when a performance review system
might become truly valuable.

1. Any time it was administered continuously so there was no gap or lag
between behavior and feedback.

2. Whenever it was updated continuously to improve its content by people
hired and trained for this activity.

3. When it recognized the systematic relationship of performance and
behavior and avoided punishing people for events that were within process
control limits.

4. Moments after pigs learn to fly.
