In 2022, I laughed at the idea of diagnosing car trouble from a sound clip. I always thought you had to be there in person to figure it out. But then I saw a video where a mechanic pinpointed a bad bearing just from a grinding noise. He broke down the sound frequencies, and it totally made sense after that!

Yeah the part about clients still pushing back even with full transparency is so real. I read a blog post about client psychology that said some people just hear the first date you say and ignore the caveats. It's like @gavink95 said, it keeps calm people calm, but the rush types will always be rushing. I've had clients agree to a six week timeline and then start asking for updates after week two. You just have to point back to the original quote and hold the line.
