True, but this gives you a golden opportunity to build cams.

You can use a clock face (line in a circle) with a single rotating hand. At 
specific intervals along the circle place a trigger dot so that when the hand 
moves over it, a script is triggered. The tick rate of the script can now be 
varied by adjusting the dot(s) along the circle. The dot's position can be 
keyed to a variable, or the line reset its heading when it touches the dot. 
Many other variations are possible.
