If you have a counter chain clocked by 20 MHz then the timestamps

I am not saying that a computer or a piece of hardware cannot have a 1
ns resoltuion. I am saying that imagining that I can sychronize two such
clocks over the network or via gps is.
At this point I think you are simply wrong:
The UTC ensemble clock is published every month, it is a paper clock
determined by a weighted vote between all the highest quality reference
clocks in national laboratories, right?
The way they compare all these clocks, in order to do the voting, is
mostly by common view GPS observation.
I.e. they can use gps to sync clocks at very small fractions of a ns.
