Isn't that in the nature of estimates? An estimate is a heuristic guess at the number of rows it will find for the given query or part of a query. It's not uncommon for estimates to be out by several orders of magnitude. Guaranteeing estimates within bounded accuracy and in a given short amount of time (you don't want your planning time to overwhelm your execution time) isn't possible.
