> Unix time is not the number of seconds since epoch In fairness, he said to count the number of seconds since the Epoch. That is independent of UTC. That means using e.g. TAI. Unix time also ignores leap seconds since it counts the number of seconds actually elapsed. |

hence it counts the number of seconds that would have elapsed, if they didn't exist. In effect, it's timescale has time that never happened, and time that happened twice.
