True, but it could also deliver much worse time if the routing is wildly asymmetrical. If you don't know the time, it's hard to figure out if the routing is symmetric. I've seen some wildly asymmetric but reasonably stable times from NIST to Silicon Valley. Maybe we should add geographic coordinates to the NTP protocol so a client can sanity check the round trip times. -- These are my opinions.
