"Think of it: what we call “noon” today rarely coincides with the 
astronomical solar noon (when the sun is at its zenith). Not only do 
most of us not live precisely in the right place on the time zone, but 
also only four days a year do solar days last exactly 24 hours. Most of 
the people do not really care about these inconsistencies because they 
do not really matter for our functioning."


"Most of the people" is not time-nuts..
