Great rant. I especially like the idea of making it clear that estimates cost time to be any good. I've only ever liked pointing when it was the best way to help people see large differences in opinion on how hard something is within the team AND from the person making the request (although they are asked in such a way that they don't know they are basically pointing). When people realize there are frequent, large disparities in expectations it helps hammer home the fact that something is structurally wrong that needs to be addressed. Tech debt? Over-zealous or underwhelming attention to testing? Everyone is unique, but this may help drive discussions that go deeper than being asked "why does everything always take at least twice as long as people think it should?"
