You have to look it up either way, so I don't really understand why it would really be too much harder. For an example, if you are on the west coast you'd learn that 17 to 2 are good hours for you. Suppose on the day in question you know that 1 is the best time for you. Then you'd look at London and note that 9 to 18 are probably good for them. So you'll have to adjust. I don't see what new steps are introduced.
You are right that it is nice to now what 5 pm means pretty much everywhere but Western China, but that same sentiment can be expressed by saying early evening everywhere including Western China.

Even in the best case, you don't really manage simplify anything, you apply the same offsets, except now everyone on the west coast wakes up on one weekday and goes to sleep on the next, not just the ones who get to bed after midnight. The change happens right at the end of the business day, rather than outside business hours. Every day.

- James_Henry 7y agoNo one would be confused by the meaning of Tuesday night as night is defined by the sun and if it is paired with the word Tuesday then you automatically know what they are talking about. There could be some confusion if you are talking with people far away, but that already exists. The sort of confusion that would come up would just be slightly different.
- GoblinSlayer 7y agoTV already does that. It has the date change somewhere at 6 hours.
