About Estimates
Estimates are a nasty subject, Andreas doesn't know how to handle it.
Fortunately, Lars has one weird trick, which doctors hate.
When you have plenty of control, estimates can be useful.
Not useful: unexplained deadlines.
Finally: when things get stuck. (Lars is usually available to blame.)
(In an alternate timeline, Andreas' tells us everything his relatives taught him about quark cake.)
