We’ll there is one thing you are wrong about…we actually look at our historical data in my team. :D
I 100% agree with what you wrote in this aritcle. Although I would definitely emphasize that it is not something you learn alone. It’s something that you learn as a team. And in every new team, you will have to relearn it (perhaps not from ground up, but it will be different every time). And even if you have, when new a new member joins the team, with new insights, I think even then the way you estimate is liable to change and evolve.

That's amazing! You are the first team I've ever heard who actually does this. I'm flabbergasted, in a good way. Great points! I wonder if you might write an article about it? I think I would learn a lot from it.
