I think what is happening here is that the WU results are used, or seen, as

accomplishment", but unfortunately that isn't the case ... it is a difficult
situation ... and I can somewhat understand the frustration that creeps in

Thats a good point. We don't get much from the units we generate.
It's not like we can look at the data and get some satisfaction or
anything. A users stats are all they recieve.
