Would you accept a random number from your car mechanic when you bring your vehicle in the shop for repairs?

So are you saying we should amortize the complex cases by overestimating how long the basic tasks take? That can work for a mechanic because it’s 100+ standard cases to every complex case.

    Are you advocating to simply spout out a random number when asked for an estimate on how long it would take to implement a feature in an application?

  Programmers are not car mechanics that are brought cars. They are car mechanics that are brought anything from an oil tanker to a chimpanzee to fix up.
