I think you do. Here's why:
If you experienced time slowing down or speeding up or standing still and took note of it, it was because it did not seem to "fit" what you know about time.
Or if you went "back" in time you are admitting that it is linear but that somehow you experienced something "outside of" this realm where time follows certain laws.
If there were no clocks we could still use sundials or hour glasses etc. The rate of flow is the same. Clocks are a fairly recent invention. We use clocks called chronometers to navigate ships at sea. If the flow of time was not real and constant (or if the clock was not precise) we would get lost going from Europe to America.
On the other hand you are correct in that time is a very illusive thing. I am 57 years old and for the life of me I can't tell you how I got here so fast.
I think when we experience paradoxes concerning time we are dealing with other planes of existence. In the earth plane of matter it appears to be universal. But then so does matter itself and many wise men have called that illusion too.
