If I'm doing 120kts GS, 10nm will take me roughly 5min. 250kts it'll take me roughly 2.5min. If I'm doing 300kts GS it'll be closer to 2min (why if you're flying a jet or other high performance aircraft the recommendation is to report further out). Remember your estimate is just that, an estimate. Only has to be accurate to the nearest couple of minutes to be useful. Anyway.... this discussion is not going to change anyone's minds.
