I'd warn you that advanceTimeAndRefresh is somewhat dangerous since: (1) it requires that you take complete control of the clock, and you *must* remember to call restoreNormalRefresh when you're done, or else the clock will never advance, and (2) it affects all presentations that happen to share the same refresh driver, which is something that might change over time. It might work here -- but it's a sharp tool, so be careful with it. -David -- 𝄞 L.
