Oh, come on.  First of all you are quoting from the second thread about this,
in the original thread several people had explained the problem in more detail
and the nature of floating-point precision and how to properly deal with it.
As I have no way in proving that there is no problem until the source code is
released, you either take my word for it or you don't.  If you really want to
use this fact to claim there is a problem and nobody cares, I find it rather
unreasonable :-(

Do you really think there is some code in there that says:
"add 0.00000000298023224 to clock to annoy users"?  ;-)
