Your general comment to this point
Why did you observe only certain time intervals?
The TIMER program is slightly flawed, because it it can't measure every fraction, but is still very accurate and useful.
What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?
Because -.01563 repeats so often, I think this is the fastest interval the program can calculate.

Your general comment to this point:
Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?
Because if you are clicking at exactly the same time as inhaling starts, the time would vary just as the time it takes to breathe does.
Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...
b
I think it is accurate to .01 because the decimal places after that is when the numbers start repeating, which is when I think the accuracy starts to decrease.
