If you said you received an urgent call at 17:00 I would know exactly what time that is... 17:00. No meaning is lost because there is no time zone (local time)

If you said you received an urgent call at 17:00 I would know exactly what time that is... 17:00. No meaning is lost because there is no time zone (local time) and therefore no disconnect / mental mapping / conversion required.
Given your example we must be talking about different things. I'm saying ONE time globally.
- MockObject 6y agoI think he's trying to find a case where the absolute hour (1700Z) is less relevant than the subjective hour (0300 local means he was dead asleep)
- CydeWeys 6y agoExactly. The point is that it's happening in the middle of the night. That context is entirely lost without local time.
