Official time that affected the entire city government, including the mayor’s office, etc. Do you really believe that the city would not frequently sync their official time with the rest of the world?!

I believe that this is an assumption, and not based on anything that Bowles or anybody else stated.

But only based on his arbitrarily chosen "zero-base" time.

But the whole point is, we don't know if, how, or when any of these clocks were calibrated to "official time", only that they were synchronized with each other
if they got "at least two minutes or more out of synchronization of each other".

Again:
If the clocks used by the dispatchers were more than a minute or two off of official time, then his time and station check at 12:30 would have been off accordingly. It wasn’t.

Again:

A master clock on the telephone room wall was connected to the City Hall system. This clock reported "official" time.

Nobody suggested they didn't. But, as usual, your reply fails to address the obvious point being made about the reliability of the voice activated recordings and the transcripts derived thereof when it comes down to determining the exact time an event took place.

Do you believe that the clocks magically got off between the 12:30 time check and the time of Tippit’s shooting?

What do you mean with "it wasn't"... to make that determination one needs a rock solid time source to make the comparision with.

You seem to assume that the "official time" was indeed exactly accurate.

I am not even sure that the 12:30 time check was exactly accurate.

With the margin of two minutes ahead or behind the "official time" and without even knowing if that "official time" was in fact 100% accurate, how in the world can anybody claim that the recording, made by a voice activated system, of the dispatcher saying 1:16 is 100% accurate?

Compelling combined circumstantial evidence suggests it wasn't!

Again, Bowles’ words from the Larry Sneed interview:

“There was one clock in the office that had a generally reliable time. It was on the back wall of the telephone room.”
