I like the cut of your jib. But I suppose what I was saying was that, for the purposes of establishing “now”, “now” isn’t really standardizable except with respect to a single inertial frame, and any time-keeping that occurs outside of this inertial frame will not be absolutely in sync, even though it may have a highly accurate measure of time for its own inertial frame.
This matters when computers are bouncing records about time around satellites and across the global.
Edit: I have no idea what I’m talking about so please do not hesitate to correct me on the particulars!
