That page shows a definition of the term "seconds since the Epoch", viz. "[a] value to be interpreted as the number of seconds between a specified time and the Epoch." Well, it may be "to be interpreted" as such a value, but it is *not* such a value. As of this writing, its value on my machine is 1043944376, but that does not mean, or so it seems, that 1043944376 s have elapsed since the Epoch. -- De plichten van een docent zijn divers, John Cowan die van het gehoor ook.
