While observing takeoff for electrical-takeoff#Unit Condensing Units, the project engineer expressed confusion at the process of calculating average horizontal length, expressing that it was more complicated than they expected considering takeoff procedure for similar processes. The PE asked why we would not simply use the maximum so that we would not risk having too little overall.

Their expectation surprised me, since it is intuitive to me that there must be some limit to the logic of "covering it", since it is always within our power to add contingency, and especially because---if anything--- I feel that our procedures tend towards the upper end of reasonable ECI. (see value-of-information.jpg)

My response was not well formulated.
