Well sure that's fundamentally true, but really doesn't give any sort of accurate picture of how estimates are done any more than "humans are just collections of cells" does, and anybody who does estimates without using some sort of data as the basis and is purely guessing is doing it wrong as fuck.

It's not like we have no idea how long certain tasks have taken in the past, or what affects how long something will take.
