Do you really think that link disputes what I said? It actually proves my point (from your link):

“He later said Parmar needed an explosive device to blow up a bridge or something large in India, and that he needed timers for an explosive device. In that case, the relay could be used to trigger the detonator circuit for a blasting cap which would provide the initial shock needed to detonate larger explosives such as dynamite.[20][21]”

Get it? The relay (from the clock) could be used to trigger the detonator. The clock itself is not, and cannot be, a detonator. Anyone who says something like that obviously has little clue what a detonator actually is.

Uh, yes.
A clock was used as a detonation device.
The alarm function being used to initiate a blasting cap.
So yes, it does dispute your claim.

Funny, when I worked at Precision Blasting (2006), the thing that was called a “Detonator” was the hand held battery operated push button detonator.
The blasting cap was always referred to as a blasting cap.
