Indeed . ,We have to take LiveATC for what it is , mainly the recording by spotters of R/T using mostly small hand held VHF receivers posted on Internet. Not only the times stamps are not verified, but can be intentionally clipped out by the scanner itself ,but most importantly it only records line of sight , so some ground transmissions can be missed if broadcast by a remote transmitter out of sight of the spotter receiver small antenna. So caution in drawing "facts" from it. Same in the JFK runway incursion case btw..
