Hi Ted,

You should use only estimates().

if(estimates()) {
	// your code.
}

jobIsClosed() || !jobIsClosed() will always return true as at one given moment one of them will be true so anding it to estimates() doesn't make sense as if estimates() is false the evaluation will quit with false due to java precedence which is left to right.
