I know he didn't but that's what caused F-22's computers to go Tits Up.

I am not convinced this is a true story. I googled/news "f-22,
international" and only got two hits for this story.

Having said this, this is the kind of error that gets past the programmers
and testers. But I don't see how the aircraft attitude displays and fuel
management software would be effected by a time error. I could see the
tactical displays relying on data links getting messed up, but not attitude
and fuel management.
