That'd only matter if you're trying to make measurements across the time where you switch from one clock to another.
If you use it for 10 years to study gravitation waves, it'd be fit for that purpose since you'd be comparing intervals from the same clock.

- MattPalmer1086 5y agoI think the point is that it provides very precise measurements for each independent experiment. I don't think anyone is trying to track the absolute time elapsed over long periods with this clock since it started.
