This is nitpicking, but the transition from "the average error of a truncating clock is 30 seconds" to "therefore all clocks are 30 seconds late!" is seriously wrong. For one, the median is equal to the mean here, so about half of all clocks are less than 30 seconds late, which is a clear contradiction.
