I take the point that these sorts of estimations can only have a very low degree of confidence. However, my understanding of exponents is that the estimate is wide enough to cover most possibilities.
The difference between 10 to the power of 78 and 82 makes the lower number tiny in comparison (despite it being impossibly large itself). The estimate ranges from an almost inconceivably large number or another one 10,000 times greater.
Apply it to guessing marbles in a jar, you'll get my point. - I estimate there are between 10 to the power 2 and 10 to the power 6 (I.e. Between 100 and 1, 000,000) in the jar.
