I tend to avoid giving estimates until things are very tightly nailed down. This because I know I am wrong in my estimates: wildly, horribly, terrifically wrong.

And I kind of have a problem giving wrong numbers to someone who will then use these numbers for planning. It causes dishonesty and error to propagate throughout the system.
