In arguing for an advantage of Standard over Daylight time the authors naively ignore that clock time is just a coordinate with arbitrary origin. In Matthew 20:1-16 KJV: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+20:1-16&version=KJV it appears that at the time of writing time was reckoned six hours behind the current convention: the first hour was around sunrise, people began work then; the eleventh hour around sunset, people ended work then. The harmful effects arise from the twice-yearly adjustment, not the absolute setting. -- gil
