That wasn't the suggestion at all. The parent used words he doesn't understand. He has no idea what UTC is, just like you. And rather than reading the article, learning about UTC and trying to understand the issue, people with a superficial understanding just downvote and comment nonsense.

UTC is like floating point numbers, people who just superficially come across it think they know what it is but when they talk about it, you can clearly tell they had no idea what it really is. I've done my best. Can lead a horse to water but can't force him to drink it.

It was clearly the poster's intent, regardless of whether they articulated it to your satisfaction. You can have your pedantic victory about the definition of UTC. Enjoy. And stay safe.
