Actually, that's ok.  You're supposed to actually report the real
boots/time during a second query.  As an optimization, we "test" to see
if the values returned during the engineID discovery are valid and
"hope" they are to save another packet round-trip.  However, we do mark
them internally as "unverified" until the final values are authenticated
via a authenticated response.

[this is memory from the implementation from many years ago, but I
remember sitting around at an IETF conference discussing this and that's
what we decided to do in the implementation; someone else wrote the LCD
code to make this happen]
