Sure. A lot of this depends upon whether you are talking about an initial setup/install or a set of clocks that have been running correctly for a while. If you have 3 clocks of the same brand that have been running OK for a while and now 1 disagrees, the most likely problem is that it broke. If you have 10 clocks of brand A and 20 clocks of brand B and the two sets agree within the set but disagree with the other set, then you probably have a design error and the number of clocks in each set doesn't tell you much about which one is likely to be right. If your 3 or 30 clocks all agree with eachother, there is a chance that they are all wrong due to a design error or some problem common to all of them. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
