So the author saw the Wikipedia definition of "a time period of a millionth of a century, equal to 52 minutes and 34 seconds", made a more precise calculation and got 52 minutes 35.7 instead. Almost 2 seconds of a difference! About 0.6‰ in relative terms! That Wikipedia thing is unacceptably sloppy, isn't it?

Pedantry is its own reward.

That Wikipedia thing is perfectly fine. It merely assumes we abolish leap years within the next few decades.
