No, the business world *copes* with fuzzy schedules, it does not excel
from relying on such fuzziness though.  Many of the most successful
projects succeed only because one or more people get a firm enough
grip on them to be unfuzzy in all the areas that count and get the
necessary features done in time.  There are scores of unsuccessful
projects which also fail because they're overcome with fuzz.  I would
prefer that we be one of the latter, hence my statement. :)

That depends on what value of "solve" you're shooting for, and you
know that well enough.
