Using an ordinal metric for actual times increases the error bars so fast that the sum is all error.
(i.e. if story points are still ordinal but mapped to hours, then when you do math with them you have to carry the error range and it gets larger for each operation, excluding the magic of LOLN and finding moments of a random sample)
