The comment where the man makes a comparison to measuring electric current but tries to make it seem like we understand time better than electric current annoyed me. As if we have a greater fundamental understanding of what an electric charge "is" vs. time.

I love this page on that subject:

It's not exactly 100% current (pun intended) but it makes the point nicely.
