Devs are famously bad at estimating how long a software project will take.

No, highly complex creative work is inherently extremely difficult to estimate.

Anyway, not shocked at all by the results. This is a great start that begs for larger and more rigorous studies.

You're absolutely correct that the angle approach that statement is bullshit. There is also that they want to think making software is not highly complex creative work but somehow is just working an assembly line and the software devs are gatekeepers that don't deserve respect.
