Listen, you don't understand. I have to make sure that my story is set in the right time or else my brain just won't let me be. Even if nobody else is going to care about when exactly clocks were invented or how they worked originally. Or what currency they used in Spain in the 16th century (maravedis and doubloons). Or what idiomatic expression they'd use back then that doesn't involve any kind of modern technology.
As a reader I can be curious at times. As a writer I need to be 100% precise all the time.
