> Guessing how long to fix, or how many "points" a bug will take is complete BS next to real-world values.

The difficulty is that "how long to fix" literally has to be a guess. Even with up front investment to investigate the nature of the bug and how to go about fixing it, the end result is still a guess, just a more educated guess.

Unless you're exceptionally good at predicting the future. We should have a sidebar chat if this applies to you.
