The "single line of powershell" thing really undermines this person's credibility. Without knowing how and where this information is stored, how can he possibly know what the level of effort in retrieving it is? I agree that the initial cost estimate was absurd, but you don't win any points by claiming extreme simplicity of a task you don't have full visibility into.

It's literally that simple. I have a good idea of what the amount of work because I've sent the same request about 100 times and have learned quite a lot, both through conversations, email, litigation and other's litigation. If experience isn't helpful then I ask for a small slice and use that to calibrate their estimate. Estimates are usually very wrong, like it was with Seattle.
