To clarify, I made my statement because it seemed like Michael was interpreting what Modest said, about different durations for Earth's orbit at sea level vs. Mt. Everest, as meaning that the clock actually forces/dictates/causes the difference. In other words, it's not because of a clock's readout that causes the change in rotational speed, it is the other way around (gravity causing time to move at different rates for different observers at different z (altitude) positions relative to the center of the Earth).
