My clock is very very accurate. But can you please explain what does this
have to do with new contents being delivered.

Logic would say that if I am a proxy that is caching data and I go to check
to see if there is something new/updated out on the web I'd check by the
time/date of the file If my check showed a file out on the web had a
timestamp of 1pm August 4th, 2004 on it and my server clock said it was
August 5th, then that newer file would not appear to be newer to me. That's
why he said "reasonably accurate".
