Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters

But calling the fact that time passed and we will reach another equinox at some point is like saying that “progression of time towards 5:43 pm” is a thing just because time always tends towards 5:43 and one we pass it, we use the next 5:43 as a target.

I develop calendar systems in my spare time and you should take a look at the leap year rule of SAC13, it takes the precession of the equinoxes into account.

The things you just said are just words thrown together - and again - just because you can’t admit that you heard precession of the equinoxes in the past and misremembered it.

Yes exactly, which is why I said you may be overthinking it when you were trying to interpret it as anything more than this. The Equinox were a critical time for the calibration of sundials, hence why I chose them.

just because you can’t admit that you heard precession of the equinoxes in the past and misremembered it.

But, why? It would have been perfectly valid to bring up in the original context - you yourself brought up the complicating factor of minor celestial events in it’s applicability to - and “progression towards the equinox” is a fine-if-slightly-florid way to describe the passage of time towards a significant event. There’s no reason for me to have done that.
