One wishes announments like this were a bit more accurate. They say "...
we'll run the clocks 0.0014% slower across the ten hours before and ten

0.00138888 percent. I wonder what precision they use?
It would, of course, take an infinite number of decimal digits to
represent the actual ratio.
Yes. An ever irritating fact of life.
The calculations are done at nanosecond
precision.
OK, makes sense. Thanks.
