I have no argument with the standards people. My
argument is with the people who take present
day seconds and lay them end-to-end back to the
Big Bang to ascertain the age of the universe.
Today's second may be the first time the second
has ever had that particular value. The first
second was likely many magnitudes longer than
the present day second.

Have you ever heard of the fine structure constant? You had best check
into it and how it can be verified from a distance, a very very long
distance.
