Actually what Rob and I were pointing out was that the chances of showing up in Taiwan when you're in Tennessee is actually quite high in a corporate environment - he gets moved from the UK to Germany, I get moved from Australia to Phoenix, AZ, my wife gets moved from Australia to Switzerland and that's just a random sample. It's not uncommon at all for large companies to route traffic through a single gateway, and as a result using geolocation to detect timezones is very prone to problems if people want to access a site from inside a large company, whereas using client-based logic avoids this.
