The current StandardNodeEstimator.estimate() is trying to calculate the average time a node will take for any outcome.
Shouldn't it be returning the time if it succeeds + punishment for when it fails?
It is (or should be). It returns pSuccess*tSuccess + pFailure*tFailure
So lower chance of success means lower estimate? And lower risk of failure means lower estimate?
pSuccess=1-pFailure, so if the chance of success decreases, the chance of failure increases. If tSuccess < tFailure and the chance of success decreases, then the overall estimate will (or should!) actually increase.
