GNUtar includes a file in the incremental backup if the mtime OR ctime

there isn't anywhere to set ctime to an arbitary date/time?
Apparently, not on POSIX.

says "In any case, it is not possible, in normal operations, for a user
to change the ctime field to a user-specified value."
I'm not sure what normal operations means.
Not using a hex editor on /dev/sda :)
