Disney is correct and the kid is wrong. Look at the picture. It is a non-discreet scale - meaning it passes though every location between 1 seconds and 2 seconds. The one and only place it would be singular is EXACTLY at one second.
Everything else is discussed in plural - such as 1.000001 seconds and .99999999 seconds. It is only singular for ... See Moresuch an infinitesimally small amount of time that it is for all practical purposes never actually singular.
If the scale moved from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 etc in full second increments, such as the movement on a quartz watch, I would buy the argument.
