You might be surprised to learn that there are time zones that are not an integer number of hours different from UTC.

  I'm always open to change my mind, but I struggle to see the relevance of that in this context. Are there timezone areas in the world which change their UTC differential fluidly throughout the year and by the yard to pin midday to the highest position of the sun? I'll definitely say that that'd not only surprise me but blow my mind if true! If there isn't ... Then what was your point?

    You claimed that timezones change an hour by area. That's not the case. That's my point.

      So you don't have a point, because the only "claim" I had was - agreeing with the grandparent comment, because: there is always some drift between the suns position and midday Your point is about as coherent as saying CO2 levels in the air aren't going higher, because the sea is blue
