Wow. You must have gotten those with the help of some arithmetic,
because timestamptzin would never have produced them. I found out I can
do
regression=# select extract(epoch from ('2000-01-01 00:00:00'::timestamptz + '0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001'::interval) - '2000-01-01 00:00:00');
date_part
-----------
1e-209
(1 row)
but I wonder what it was you actually did.
