    But it currently does.  They're called expert witnesses.
    
    I followed the procedure.  I can testify to the relative accuracy of my
    clock.  Etc etc.
    
    I just don't believe in the myth of a digitally signed timestamp solving
    the world's digital evidentiary ills.  It just makes the TSP a source of
    attack in court.  Which means that I as defendant must get some
    liability assumption from you as TSP if I'm going to rely on you more
    than on my own staff, policy, and procedures.

    I'd love to hearing of a liabilty-bearing TSP, which would make my
    viewpoint wrong.
