no

ill copy & paste from the nut spec on how to compare timestamps exactly
for more elaborate explanation see the spec yourself

    if (convert_ts(a, a_timebase, b_timebase) < b) return -1;
    if (convert_ts(b, b_timebase, a_timebase) < a) return  1;
    return 0;

(convert_ts here must round down and be exact, the nut spec also
 explains how to do this in C but we already have a fitting function for
 it)
