Jon, That's very true -- but that's no reason not to fix the estimates for those apps where it can be fixed!
There's an easy way to fix the estimates for a large number of applications -- perhaps the majority of applications. We should not pass on that opportunity because we can't fix the problem for all applications. For some applications, after all, it's impossible to predict the run time because they have multiple execution paths that differ greatly in execution complexity. By definition it's impossible to create a fix that will work with every application. Let's at least fix it for those estimates where it's possible to do so.
