The solution there is not to use the local clock; it is often blindly used
because it comes in specimen configuration files, and generally, if you
know enough to properly use one, you know enough not to ask this sort
of question.

I think it is fairly safe to assume that this question is asked either
by people who are not synchronising to true time or by people who want
to satisfy a system acceptance test requirement that the system should
respond to time corrections.
