Jon, We also see 'big estimate' output for some partitions.
I assumed some sort of bounding but never looked into it any further. Reminds me of the O (big-oh) and omega we'd compute for algorithms back in computer science class [upper and lower bounds limits for algorithms]. Something that I suspect is missing from more current programming classes.
