Anchoring bias probably works with numbers outside of the realm of reality as well. But I doubt it's very useful in these cases (or even any stronger than asking for say 300B), otherwise everyone would always start a funding round by asking for a 7T investment, right.

It's also probably less-effective when the other side has their own teams of accountants making projections.

in a negotiation where you have experts with good intuition for costs and practicalities on one side of the table and a non-technical failing-upwards-megalomaniac-kid on the other side, i doubt that's a sensible strategy
