Their job is to pick the most accurate number they can.

And by accurate I don't mean "most mathematically correct", because that would be "less than 100%".

Making an accurate estimate isn't about winning or losing. It will never be perfect. Oh well, still have to try.

You see how "less than 100%" would be a horrible number to pick, right? Wanting more accuracy is not pedantry.
