He said, down to the global pulse that is exactly one second away, not,
down to the global pulse which is exactly one second. What he meant, or
at least the way I interpretted it, is that you can specify the global
pulse that is one second away, rather than waiting until a second-based
pulse (which could be 1.9 seconds awy).
