I posted this question on StackOverflow regarding TrueTime (used by Spanner) a few days ago and haven't received any responses:

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18384883/why-is-googles-t...

However, I think this HN thread seems like it might be a good place to get comments on why my line of reasoning may be incorrect. Does anyone have any thoughts on why building something like Spanner on top of basic Paxos quorums and NTP would be a bad idea?
