My comment wasn't about how UCT works, it was in response to this:

I think we should all operate on gmt. One time, all the time, 24 hour clock.

As a programmer, I say that all the time in frustration.

But if you try to convince average people to use a single time zone, it will absolutely become political. Why should I change to your time, why don't you change to mine. Average person won't care even the slightest about UTC offsets. We're talking billions of not-so educated people who are used to thinking in their own local time... And now you want to sell them on a single global timezone... Good luck lol

Even deciding to stick with DST or not is a highly political issue. C'mon.

I’m not talking about reality.
