I'm not sure what a professional estimator is, but I hope the implied precision in your estimates is reasonable. In this case it was not the act of estimating itself which was pissing people off - it was the ridiculous level of implied precision. As another commenter noted, presenting the estimate at "5 years" wouldn't be nearly as ridiculous as presenting the estimate at "5.5 years", as the latter implies a level of precision that is entirely unrealistic for non physical processes.
Have a great day as well!
- Falimonda 3y agoWhat if the level of precision is posed as "within X months"? 5.5 years is just 66 months... The claim that an estimate of 5.5 years is "a level of precision that is entirely unrealistic for non physical processes" is absurd. In this context, how can you possibly believe that businesses and organizations worldwide are not capable of estimating non-physical procesess to within a month?
