Nike nearly killed the best women runners in history. Research “Nike Oregon Project” “Mary Cain” “Kara Goucher”. Watch Mary Cain tell her story: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/opinion/nike-running-mary-cain.html. I’m a competitive runner who lives in Oregon, but I’ll never buy a Nike product.
“If you periodically embrace discomfort, you’re more likely to be comfortable than someone who tries to avoid all discomfort. You’ll have a much wider comfort zone than others and will therefore feel comfortable under circumstances that would cause others distress.”

It is “rational" to expect that most people will respond in ways that research has shown is typical of them even if you and I think another response is best.

First,GPS receivers released in 2018 that use the L5 band can have much higher accuracy, pinpointing to within 30 centimeters or 11.8 inches.
Second, the time is never the same time at multiple locations when spacetime is measured very precisely. This was established in 1905 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime).
Third, most devices use “assisted GPS” which incorporates data from multiple sources (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS), not just satellites.
The artist doesn’t understand how GPS works. The satellites transmit their position and time. Routing computations are done on Earth by the user’s GPS receiver.
