on the SAME time. Nobody cares here that solar time and civil time
are 43 minutes off.
*I* care
but I'm not important - I'm just one person
many people might care and many people are not getting to make
the decision because the decision is being made for them.
further, it's not a decision we can *ever* go back on once it is
made because reversing back to solar to time would be politically
far too difficult to get collaboration on.
therefore it is a decision that must be made very very carefully.
that some NASA/ITU/whoever people find leap seconds "inconvenient"
for programmers is NOT sufficient reason to ever have started
pursuing this agenda.
leap hour will ever happen, but I won't be around to see it one way or
another.
so really, your argument is to try convince people to only consider
eventualities that occur within the space of their lifetime?
darwin takes care of this attitude - it's sort of guaranteed
