The CBO estimations compared to the actuals speak for themselves.

I find it hilarious when venture capitalists cite CBO forecasts on twitter when, in the real world, if you brought that kind of data into a startup pitch it would get laughed out of the room.

Because it turns out that the modeling the CBO has to do is WAY harder than what your typical startup has to worry about.
