    They mean that they have trouble differentiating between time and the measurement of time.

    The measurement of time is purely human invention.

    Time itself, on the other hand, is a physical and necessary part of our reality.

    It's not material thing that exists in the universe... It seems to just be the arrow of entropy.

    My doctor put it this way “People assume that time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.”

    Sounds to me like something an uneducated religious person would say.
