The general point "don't put too much faith in estimations" is good, but anyone who just assumes everything has a linear growth rate should probably not be in business.
Unfortunately that's how our brain software works! It's not necessarily a conscious thing either--it's just an implicit assumption that we'll eventually base either our excitement or disappointment on.

My point is to make your implicit assumption explicit, and to make it realistic with data instead of bullshit.
