Was the Yoast requirement outlined prior to project start?

I run into a similar situation with Google PageSpeed/Insights quite often. The tool itself is a good guide to use, but logic is not 100% spot on. The tool will require "dumbing down" of an element on the site in order to improve the score, yet it severely negatively impacts usability or overall goal of the site.

These metric tools are great guides to use but should never be the "end all." As humans we still need to apply our logic to get the best result based on our goals, otherwise robots will take over. ;-)
