So you dont take time from people you don't know and who's operations models don't meet those that you are required to operate under. That's it - no arguments are possible for this and the Audit Community will get formally dinged if they dont enforce this, especially in the EU where there are specific requirements for the operation of a time-stamping service of *** any *** type as a public offering, meaning NTP operators would be liable. And by the way - there may be criminal penalties for intentionally violating this as well in all of the EU member nations.
