So  having someone appear to be two minutes off of "your" time is probably 
not a  big deal unless you know that your watch is accurate pretty much to the  
second. 
I disagree, rather strongly, and I know others will, too. Especially given  
that everybody should "KNOW" that their watch _IS_ accurate. The correct  
"atomic" time is readily available, via the clock at the OFVC window that  anybody 
can look at. Or given that I (for example) regularly set my watch by  that 
clock, set yours by mine. Etc. Then we're all the same and there is no  error 
beyond the possible second or two involved in actually, physically looking  at 
the watch.  
 

The only time an "error of less than 5 minutes" outght to be acceptable to  
an experienced gazer (and any gazer experienced enough to be recordinbg events  
and times is certainly expereinced enough) is, frankly, never.
