They are "wrong" technically but they won't be "wrong" more than a packet getting routed transatlantic would be - so if I send two packets from my laptop in London - one to AWS in London during the smear and one to another laptop in NYC, and timestamped the packets arrivals, the time stamps would likely be similar. Yes "wrong" but if it's a problem then it's a problem you have with speed of light. The answer is to find a different / reliable method of ordering.
