NewLiberty why are we talking past each other? It seems you are not listening to what I am saying. I don't like hubris when we are dealing with a proven coin killer. Asserting that something only happens once per hour, when in fact the calcuation is once every 3 months, is a form of hubris and premature confidence.
I like facts. I was calling BS on that factoid.
That it is irrelevant is further reason to not use as hubris as was done (not by you, but I didn't see you interjecting).
We agree on the math. I've been asleep for the last couple hours so came in on the end of this (but after I'd already mentioned it was not a useful line of inquiry).
But the argument isn't meaningful. Those time stamps are there for other reasons that may someday in the future be useful (like contract enforcements, or marking an anniversary, or something) It does not have any affect on the algorithms that govern the block chain.
