Expect honest not accuracy

As a Scrum agile practitioner; I spend downtime thinking about simple ways to say powerful things.  I have been setting my team expectations on two things, Transparent and Proactive.  Adding to the list is expecting honesty in estimating.  I did not say accuracy.  All humans are poor estimators.  I would rather have honesty than accuracy.  Better data is better forecasting.  I see new words to line the workplace; transparent, proactive and honest team members can conquer the moon.
