It's a good joke, but I imagine a lot of people may not know or realize why it is jumping like that, so I wanted to leave the explanation for them.
Also: Explorer doesn't do that anymore. The estimate is usually very precise from start to end (given there isn't a sudden and unexpected change in available bandwidth).
At least on Win 10, I find it as unreliable as ever if you mix small and large files in one transfer, since small files are not bottlenecked by bandwidth.
