If Dave Mills says "It can't work!" I think the burden of proof that it

His method has had a lot of both theoretical and experimental work. That
is great.
That is the problem. He keeps referring back to his books and the
facts he has collected 20 years ago, and a changing environment is not
part of his world.
Dave's math is beyond me but I'm willing to take it on faith. It works!
I am a theoretical physicist. I understand David's math. It is not
difficult.
I suspect that faster convergence would carry a price such as large
amplitude oscillation!
No it does not. Experimental fact from running chrony.
If you can't stand it, roll your own! You may find that it's far more
difficult than you think!
Or use something that others have rolled for you-- eg chrony. Jut as
easy as using ntpd.
Since I installed NTPD years ago, using it is no effort at all. If my
contract with Comcast did not forbid me to operate a "server", I'd be
offering a stratum 1 NTP server.
