Is it not the case that atmospheric effects end up shifting the time of observation by several seconds depending on location and condition?

I was going to write, "We should be weary of specifying precision we do not have," but rather it maybe better to write, "Perhaps we should be explicit about bounding the uncertainty associated with each estimate."
