It all depends on your integration time.
I was told from Stockholm that they hadn't lost track of a single
cycle in 50 some years, so that's:
20msec / 50 y = 12.675e-12
As far as I know, no other frequency reference can do that.
Obviously the numbers are highly suspect, because he didn't
know what they measured against...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
