It's worse than that, IMO.   There are 24*60*60*100  separate points in time
that we try to identify.  That's a big number, but it's countable.  We take
those points as representing an uncountable set of points in time, all the
time in a day.  It's a useful thing to do, for practical purposes.  But
counting and measuring aren't really the same thing.
