The confidence intervals thing is probably a good idea, but I have no idea where to start on that, really,
Basically you have no idea about which extrapolations are reasonable to make and do them anyway in spite of having no idea what’s reasonable to do.
If you don’t think you understand the subject well enough to give confidence intervals I don’t think you understand it well enough to give any extrapolations that have any usefulness.
The idea that an “objective” number that’s clearly wrong is better then a more subjective that factors in more knowledge is also flawed.
