A needed word

A bloke was taking exception to the word guesstimate in the paper the other day, insisting that things had to be one or the other; a guess or an estimate.
    He clearly doesn’t realize that it’s a valid term for when a guess by someone on the public payroll is being touted as the product of a real-world calculation process as part of another attempt to swindle the taxpayer.
