What is the "unacceptable risk"?? Just what are we risking? We have had Leap
Seconds since 1972, and after 42+ years we
seem to be doing OK!

'Proscribe' and 'prescribe' are distinct words:
'Proscribe' means to forbid, disallow, or prohibit. "School rules proscribe the
use of pencils on exams."
'Prescribe' means to lay out specifications or rules about something. "In the
manner prescribed by law."
I don't know the context o
field knows it is only
approximately true for arbitrarily small-amplitude swings, the general case
being given by Jacobi's elliptic function rather than a
harmonic solution.
