The true report would not be correct without a traceability certificate 
and confidence interval for the TOD indication, motivated by the 
measurement inaccurancies and established TDEV measures.

Naturally the next of kin doesn't really care, as they now can dump all

from fellow time-nuts comes when they realize just how much of precious 
gear has been lost forever.
