*Summary: *Estimation is an unnatural activity for human brains, which tend
to hide our own ignorance from us.  This brown-bag begins with an exercise,
adapted from Steve McConnell's software estimation training, in balancing
accuracy with precision.  The exercise is fully available to remotees.
Facilitated discussion follows, on what we can learn from the exercise and
on general estimation and forecasting topics as raised.
