And to carry this a step further, it isn't even necessary that the units 
on the synchronized clocks be the same. For example, one could "tick" in 
seconds and the other "tick" in millihours. Thus, strictly speaking, 
they don't tick at the same rate. However, since there is a well-defined 
conversion factor between seconds and millihours, you can correct for 
that simply by doing a delta-t conversion from one clock's units to the 
other clock's units, to verify that the clocks are running at the same rate.
