Exactly my point. I know what I can do in an hour. I don't know what you can do in an hour. I don't know what my older brother (who has experience as an end-user of Macs mostly) could accomplish on a Linux box in an hour.
Perhaps your older brother would be willing to be a test subject for quantitative data on how much results can be expected from a "noob" user in a 1 hour period of time? If it takes him 4 hours to accomplish what you can in 1 hour then perhaps we could re-think the process in which the task to be executed to take 1 hour for a user at your brothers level? It sounds like an opportunity to do some very progressive and beneficial R&D work.
That was more or less a hypothetical in selecting someone who I know has no Linux experience whatsoever. My point is that in order to determine if a task can be done in an hour, we have to have a reasonable guess as to the level of user who is going to be performing the task - a good average, at least - or the estimate is meaningless.
