I take it you haven't used a microwave recently. Or done any other cooking.

Yep tho most ppl use microwaves by pressing the "30s" button (I guess it would be labelled 1/2 or 1/3) n times. Other cooking seldom requires time precision < 1 minute, for finicky precise things you usually watch the process and manage it by eye, rather than relying on absolute time.
