The book you refer advocates a concept of 'apetite' rather than estimation: "Instead of asking how much time it will take to do some work, we ask: How much time do we want to spend?"

Yeah. The reason I mentioned it is to highlight that the business often needs to know what something will roughly cost and cannot just headfirst five into it. Estimation is a form of communication that addresses this.
