Buuuut...
I remember leap seconds having something to do with precession.
Don't remember.

I don't think so, or maybe precession slightly affects it but it does other things too. I don't know, whatever emo

It maybe counteracts / overdoes regular daily rotation?

Well it's period is like, a few dozen thousand years, so that rules out a lot.

I'm only finding stuff on leap seconds relating to Earth's rotation slowing down from tidal effects and stuff.
Wiki doesn't mention leap anything on the precession page.

Haha yeah, I looked that up too and saw nothing.
Ah well...
But then you could say that the precession changes relative positions/movements of the stars so the Greeks would be confused about your time.
And how do you know what your day age is?

Hey instead of leap precession you guys should talk about leap percussion.
Percussion.
