I think overshooting is inherently worse. It's always about the closest bet without going over ;)

In my view, I'd rather overestimate than under. Pretty much the same as working with tills. Better to be over on cash than under, even if both  are no good. 

In your case, not only did you say it would do not much better 15 million, you said 17 million was "cray cray" (which was 1.5 million lower than what it did), where as people who predicted 20 million were the same amount over. Thus, your call was worse. ;)

Yet I would've won at The Price Is Right.

And I'll take the washing machine and the TV and the decorative vase.

So you think your 12M prediction was bettern then the 20M prediction people put?

Guess you were a little wrong even having 10 months more data to analyse than the OP.
