Hi Jim,

my thinking was that relativity effects on GPS satellites and their slower
timekeeping is well understood and is compensated for, as your bunny
watcher would need to do

Refering to the section 'Precise Monitoring'

I don't know what system CERN uses, but you might think it 'obvious'
that they'd first suspect GPS errors. They must surely have access to
terrestrial clocks to determine propagation and latency times of their
equipment, and especially before announcing a faster-than-light event
