but if we ARE going to establish artificial connections between wall clock time (work hours, store opening times, bar closing times, etc.) and the sun, why not do it gradually.
Time and the sun are certainly a _natural_ connection, not an artificial one. Units of time start with the day. Subdivided, we get HMS, measured from the maximum height of the sun. Greater, years, which were measured in days. It's the artificial definition of the SI second which has caused all the problems.
