I agree with this one. One thing to consider though, is that, for consulting companies, like the one I work at, we need to create bugets/cost estimations for certain developments. So estimating is kinda required, otherwise we don't know how much to charge them. But it's really difficult to calculate, so we usually double or even tripple our initial estimations, and even then we sometimes take longer to build.
