No, he's clearly proposing to leave TAI exactly as it is, and just to use it in place of UTC for applications other than civil time. In his view, "wrong" = "disagreeing with solar time". It's clear enough from the sentences that you quoted, but it also refers back to the preceding paragraph, in which he set up the view that the divergence between atomic time and solar time means that one of them is getting "progressively more wrong", and showed that he's not satisfied with viewing solar time as the one that's wrong. -zefram _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
