This is an abjectly terrible way to estimate the value of your time, for the reasons I already outlined, among many others.

  I’m looking in the thread for your reasons and so far I can see accuracy of estimation and managing people as reasons. You don’t need high accuracy to set bounds, and I don’t see how managing people is a factor. It seems to me like the reasons you gave were based on your misunderstanding of the idea. Maybe it is an abjectly terrible way to estimate the value of your time. Estimating the cost to send an email to be zero is worse.

    During your review of previous comments, did you observe the context in which "cost" is discussed? Was it in amorphous "value of your time" concepts or was it in concrete, "This cost 1.5 million dollars that we paid to a company"? What you'll find is that the "cost" reference is to a payment made, not to an estimation of time value. In this sense, "sending an email" does cost $0.00, as you can do it without paying, for example, Google.

      You’re not wrong about that, but so what? The discussion went a different direction, one in which you engaged and called an idea “abjectly terrible”.

        I started this discussion, and it never went anywhere but where I originally said.
