I don’t think I dislike being forced to estimate. I dislike being asked to estimate by the same people that consistently make those estimates worthless by introducing changes at literally every point in the process.

That cuts both ways though. You may hand out an estimate and then once you get into the research/POC weeds need to revise that estimate.
