You don't know that it won't be two days. It's an estimate, it's possible that a junior will go quick or senior will go slow.

That's why points aren't really necessary. Using days is still an estimate.

That said, I don't really object to points, I object to the idea that they don't represent time, when they obviously do.

They do. It's just your subjective time not objective that entire team needs to agree on. Which - more we discuss seems more and more impossible because it's more or less random how long it will take specific person.
