Would I be right in thinking of the "*" line as simply being the

That cannot be correct, as the other side of the comparison is that best
estimate of system time and the result would always be zero.
Without digging into the code, my guess is that it is the offset from
the weighted average of the last reading from all the true chimers.
Thanks, David. Weighted average I can accept unless someone knows better.
