When reading "unruh"'s messages I don't get the impression he is
a professional timekeeper who has put a significant amount of lifetime
in this subject.
E.g. when I read his advise to someone at a research vessel trying

garmin GPS receiver out of a porthole" I think he is just a student
with no professional experience at all.
