It is incorrect.

I guess I need to do some more reading on the subject.

Going from 01:02:59 to 01:03:01 would skip the whole-minute tick if I
don't plan for that possibility.

You have to plan for that possibility and for the possibility of the clock
going backward as well. The admin might set the time manually, or a
hardware or software bug might screw it up.

Yep, most of those possibilities. But a software bug in MY code -
NEVER!!! :-)

Thanks for your input.
