Agreed, mostly.
At the same time....
Humans view each day as 24 hours. Each year, 365 days.
And we all know and except this as fact, which it is.... or would be... if not for the reality that it's not 24 hours, and not 365 days.
Humans are stuck on the idea that time is personal to them. Even that it is the very idea by which they purpose their lives.
The Gregorian calendar is wrong, and it's fundamentally wrong. It's based on uneducated human ideals. Best I can say for it.
Time is time. The human concept of time is wrong.
And to where I disagree... perhaps the planet would be less broken if we taught from a stance of fact (10 in a full cycle) as opposed to falsehood, where 12 makes a year...
I'm reminded of a professor in school. He told us one day that even if you can pass a test that is based upon absolute fiction, you've not done anything other than reinforce the fiction itself, and you've ignored the fact.
Really, I do love the time concept. It's one of the only times in life that I feel my brain is firing on all cylinders.
