Comment (by daira):

 The issue here is, for all possible floats `f` that can be returned by
 `time.time()`, does storing `f` in a database field and then retrieving it
 result in a float `==` to `f`? Since we compare timestamps using `==`, if
 this were not the case, then we'd detect spurious timestamp mismatches.
