Identify the most valuable task

Ultimate value is a function of gross returns minus total costs. (Net = gross - cost)

If we have no concept of cost, how do we know what the most valuable thing is? Actually, you are estimating, you're just doing it silently; which guarantees you'll have worse estimates than an explicit estimate (which I agree with you are often terrible)
