If we're pedantic, this doesn't actually do what's advertised, this would be waiting X timeouts worth of event cycles rather than just the one for a true Big timeout, assuming the precision matters when you're stalling a function for 40 days.

I don't understand how an implementation detail means it isn't doing what is advertised?
