> who was the Prime Minister

> how much does milk cost

> the count of black people shot by the police

Whoah, hold up: One of these things is not like the others. (♫ One of those things just doesn't belong.♫)

The Prime Minister's name shows up regularly in news stories, and the price of milk is literally in front of you as you buy it...

So why are you expecting anybody to be decent at "estimating" even the easier version of "all people shot by police this year"? It's not like there's a daily figure shared after the weather-report.
