//TODO: fix systematic underestimation with large poll intervals.
// Imagine that we still have a bit of uncorrected drift,
// and poll interval is big. Offsets form a progression:
// 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7, 0.7 is most recent.
// The algorithm above drops 0.0 and 0.7 as outliers,
// and then we have this estimation, ~25% off from 0.7:
// 0.1/32 + 0.2/32 + 0.3/16 + 0.4/8 + 0.5/4 + 0.6/2 = 0.503125
