I get it, but let me try .... AN ANALOGY!  W00t!

Ever manage development teams or a P&L?

If so, you'll know that you generally have 2 types of managers.

1.) Those that tell you 1 month's worth of work will take 2 weeks, and
2.) Those that tell you 1 month's worth of work will take 6 weeks.

When you ask manager #1, "are you sure your team can move that fast?"
Usually he/she says, "I think so, so I'm going for it.  If I don't
make it you can fire me."

When you ask manager #2, "isn't that a lot of time for the amount of
work?" Usually he/she says, "Well there's a lot of unknowns and blah
blah blah."

Personally I want all my manager to be of type 1, and I sure ain't
gonna complain if they come in at 3 weeks instead of 2.

So you're violating the first rule of good management: don't let the
perfect be the enemy of the good.
