True.  But it's possible to interpret time data using generic
string commands.  I prefer this to timedata mode in any case.

# This converts the time string in column COL to a number of seconds
intime(COL) = strptime("%H:%M:%S",strcol(COL))

# This finds correlation of time (seconds) in col 1 with the value in col 6
stats 'data' using (intime(1)):6

# This prints a time, not necessarily unique, at which the
# maximum value in column 6 occurred
print strftime("%H:%M:%S", STATS_pos_max_y)

That is, I think, what you wanted.  Note that you don't get any
warning if that same maximum time occurs on multiple lines.
