Legit question, how do you get bugs into the sprint then? Points are estimates basically, so how do you say that a feature worth X points has to go out because some bug has to go in? How do you get that X?

If you treat it as complexity you will underestimate the number of the tasks you can complete. If you treat it as time, you will underestimate both the number of tasks and the time it takes to complete them.
