Why is the precise second something was manufactured or shipped so 
urgent?  As a consumer, the only manufaturer-originated date-stamps I 
ever notice on medicines are expiration dates with a granularity of 
one month.  The pharmacist adds things like the date they bottled 
your prescription and the date you can refill it through, which have 
one-day granularity.
