I suppose it depends on if you think about a “fact month”, that is the series of days people experience, or the formal calendar months as the things being handled by the system. The daylight savings time transition doesn’t “shorten” or “lengthen” the day, it merely transforms the clock. The day isn’t 25 hours or 23 hours. This is essentially the same thing as the Julian/Gregorian swap. The day didn’t really change, just the system we use to understand what day it is. The span of time users experienced was weird, but this wasn’t the unit of time being shorter or longer. It’s an artifact of the transition not anything happening to the time. A lot of these falsehoods on the list can be side stepped by distinguishing between the dimensions and the facts about representing time.
