Funny you say that. The way it goes with my boss is :
- boss: Yeah, don't spend too much time on planning it will be at best inaccaurate
- me: ok; I make a plan and, well, there are known unknows
- later on, my boss: why have you those unknowns ? don't you think it's obvious that unknowns are a problem and that we can't show our customer we have unknowns because we're-professionals-we-know-what-we-do ?
- me: err... well...
