The later half of the rule also scales the estimate up by an order of magnitude, would imply tasks taking 30x longer. Guess that makes you quite optimal at those tasks.

I think you've misread it, though this is my first time encountering these laws so do correct me. It says to multiply the time by 3x and the costs by 10x

I understood it as:

    better_time = estimated_time * 3;
    better_cost = estimated_cost * 10;

I missed that - this makes more sense

That's for the cost estimate, not time.
