I see two possible answers: The people listening to the story aren't time-nutty enough to think of that. The watchmaker is a time-nut and corrects for the delay due to the speed of sound. The real question is how nutty is the watchmaker? Does his delay correction involve temperature and/or humidity? Does he collect the data and graph it? Does he have an ADEV plot in his shop window? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
