This author is either an idiot or does not understand the concept of precision. It's very surprising that this article has engendered so much discussion...in support of what he is saying. 10:01:01 and 10:01:59 are both still 10:01, because a minute is a discrete unit of time. Rounding the minute to the next minute is simply wrong. Similarly, rounding to the next hour is also wrong and nobody does this except apparently the author. (Note: 15:48 is almost 1600 but is not 1600.) People might round to the nearest five or ten minutes for convenience (i.e., when reading an analog clock) but that hasn't been a thing since the switch to digital clocks.
