Yep except if you get the estimate from a developer. Compare with his
previous estimates and accuracy of those estimate and then incorporate
it into the model. 

But yes I agree a very rough estimate basically multiply by 2 then
multiply by 1.5 and then tell you're boss it will take twice as long.
Hopefully we can get some estimation on the complexities of implementing
certain API's and work this into the model.
