Comment on Trust upholds complaint about BBC homepage clockparent

You can't "just" pre-seed with the current server time, since there is latency between the server sending it and the client receiving it.

I don't think the clock has to be accurate to the ms. The latency between client and server will almost always be < 1 second. They can probably get away with time being accurate to ~1minute
