[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8608166, member: 67338"] I dont think you understand that a red herring isn't the same as not aggreeing... you seem to take 'not agreeing' to mean alot more then it is... why? it's close to the same... if you test 100 people some % will not even be able to tell the two apart... we suck at time tracking I'm not asking it to work diffrently... it's an estimate... it's about X.... 24 seconds is no time at all, so anything that is 'about X' where X is 24 seconds off is still about X 6 seconds isn't 30 seconds... who said they = each other?!?!? it's about the same not the exact same. except it does... as long as we are mesureing less then 2 minutes I would argue ANY amount of seconds you said (that was less then 120) are about right. no they etimated.... estimates aren't wrong by not being exact.... estimates are NOT exact. if it is only ment to be an estimate then they aren't wrong... it's an estimate. thank you and 24 seconds is such a short time that being off by 24 seconds with an estimate is "ABOUT" right. no tell me how 24 seconds off isn't close? yes it is... they are so close that without a device to measure time with most people will not be able to pin point one over the other. sure it is... How often do YOU tell time down to 24 seconds worth of 'correctness' dude... if I tell you I will be somewhere at 11:32 and I show up 24 seconds late you wont notice... if I show up 6 seconds late you wont notice... most people would not notice if I showed up at 11:35... and NOBODY could tell if I was late or not without a clock... nobody has such a perfect time sense that they can without device help tell the difference between 11:35 and 11:40. Time even speeds ups and slows down by your perception "A watched pot never boils" How can you HOPE to messure something to within 24 seconds of itself without aid of a machine? [/QUOTE]
