At home you set your clock to  UTC+1h.
You know the station clock shows UTC+1h.
You expect the clocks will be synchronous within a second
when you arrive at the station.

If the watches are well tuned, it is logical that when I find myself in the presence of the station clock, my watch will note the same time.
The opposite would also be absurd, since by definition they must be tuned.

No, what I say is not ridiculous at all.

"Being well tuned" is obviously the same as "being synchronous",
so what you say is OK.
But why do you use a different word than what is common in physics?

It is you who do not understand what I have been saying for several years now.

I understand that you have called synchronised clocks for "well tuned"
for several years.

 I was already saying the same thing forty years ago, and I have never changed an inch.

Why haven't you during those 40 years discovered that what you call
"well tuned" is what physicists call  "synchronised"?
