I kinda want to grab you by the lapels and re-enact that part from Clear and Present Danger. It doesn't matter what's true, it matters what i can prove! Unfortunately, the phrasing would be more like, It doesn't matter what's true, it matters what i can sell to management. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, i think i'm ready to take a side close to yours. It's useful to expand error bars exponentially as you move away from the time of the estimate, but there's nothing special about fibonacci.
