I don't see many anymore
on account of my change in workplace,
but I think often of [[construction-estimating|estimators]]
like I once knew well,
who somehow managed to be in the industry for decades
while believing that it is poor estimating
to accept any risk in a bid,
that all uncertainty must be clarified.

Of course,
they didn't believe that with their actions,
only their words.
Suppose though we take them at those words,
like you do when you're a new estimator
who barely knows what the word means,
you're just happy to be out of the field
where it's hot and no one is ever happy.
