Yes, absolutely right. And in my case the precise time is irrelevant, I'm
using it only to fire off periodic idle time "background" events. It's
just that I was fooled temporarily by POSE's more frequent (and
predictable!) nil events.

Agreed. Correct particularly in the sense that the app should be able to
deal with "unexpected" nil events.

Indeed, thanks to all.
