The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? Little [8] makes the claim that agile methods don't follow the Cone - that is the uncertainty doesn't reduce as the project proceeds.

Software development is (generally speaking) very complex. Using the aforementioned cognitive limitations, I will argue that approaches based on a fully rational analysis (e.g. Scrum/Agile) are more suitable to deal with complex problems because they are more attuned to our cognitive abilities.
