I think the issue that we're leaving out is how right were those calculations? You can throw out a number to move the conversation on, but if you have to double back because you got something wrong, you lost time there maybe some further conclusions were also wrong. I'd rather just try to get it right the first time, and I know I'm flawed as human, which is why I rely on devices rather than gray matter. But I feel like this is optimizing for the wrong thing: flow of conversation vs. accuracy of calculations. That really starts to seem like the same tradeoffs as experience vs. raw speed.

Anyone can choose to just throw out random numbers ... we're talking about being able to come up with numbers that are right enough. Otherwise the whole thing is genuinely pointless.
