It's not at all bogus, though you may feel it misses the precise point
being addressed.  The fact is that because time() has coarse granularity
it is only updated every few milliseconds, and if the real-time clock's
seconds counter ticks during that gap then the result from time() will
show the old value, not the current one, until the next update.
