The above computations are right, as said, but looking further, I see another
problem:
- while totals are correctly taking care of the effort in "days",
- subcomponents are not: tasks A1 and A2 here below: respectively 1 and 3
seconds, instead of 1.5 and 3 days...
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "75dd37bf-a15a-4910-89f8-25d481f3e523" :maxlevel 3
| Task | Estim. | |
|-------------+--------+----------|
| * Tasks | 37:00 | 37:00:00 |
| ** TODO A | 36:00 | 36:00:00 |
| *** TODO A1 | 1.5d | 00:00:01 |

This becomes even more stringent if you plan to make a "CLOCKED vs Estimated"
report where figures of one column are in hours and figures of the other are
in mixed units (days or hours).
Best regards,
