Oh, I'd disagree with this. I don't thing it's got anything to do with being entrenched. Sunrise-to-sunrise averages 24 hours, not 23.93whatever, and that's what's important in day-to-day life. Would you want to live in a world where "11:00" comes at dawn in March, in the middle of daylight in June, and at sunset in September?
