Tina, the requirement is to avoid corner cases with sliding windows, for
instance. Imagine you have a sliding window of 30 min, calculating
averages... if events arrive out of order, they might generate odd results
on the average calculation along the timeline and might remain in the window
for less than 30 minutes.
