You can't determine which clock is more accurate.

A clock's accuracy is determined by how well it's able to reproduce
standard time intervals (e.g. calendar years, solar days, SI
nanoseconds), and the accuracy of a particular type of clock is
determined by the variability in the measurements of a collection of
clocks of that type* (as you said during that fleeting bout of

rationality).

Hey idiot......a standard time interval is a definition for a time

interval

for a certain type of clock....eg a solar day is using the earth's

rotation

as a clock. So what you said is not a way to determine the accuracy of a
clock. <shrug>

* There will always be some variability - no two clocks can perform
identically except to some limited precision over some limited time

frame.

You can define that the


clock that can record the smallest time interval is more accurate.

Sure you can, but then you'd be the only one using that definition.


The standard for a clock second based on the cesium clock is using my
definition.

Yet another entry in that long list of terms whose Seto-definitions
differ from their standard definitions. Does Seto-land have its own way
of defining the accuracy of other measuring devices too? E.g., what
makes a meter-stick accurate in Seto-land?


Hey idiot.....there is no difference in my definition with the current
definition. In fact it is you who don't know what the current definition for
an accurate clock is. This is demonstrate by your definition for a standard
time interval. <shrug>



Try finding someplace (other than Seto-land) where it's indicated that the accuracy of a clock is determined by the size of the smallest time interval it records.

And again, what's the Seto-definition for meter-stick accuracy?
.
