Or, you know, we've been burned by BS "2 hours remaining" only to have the laptop re-adjust that behind our back and disrupt our work way before.


I never had that happen unless there was some major change in the work my computer was doing, in which case I'm grateful to know about the change.

But your position requires nobody to have had my experience, whereas my position is compatible with people having had your experience. I fully acknowledge that the estimate was not perfect and wasn't useful for everybody. But it was for me.
