Couldn't this comparison be made at any timezone border? Two places, a clock-hour apart (usually), with basically the same sun schedule.

No, the point is the time didn't change for people living in the same place.

Ah, I did miss that point, and that does slightly raise the value of data from areas like that.

I still think there's a wealth of useful data of the same type that can be found at timezone borders. Many will have the transitions as a slight confounding factor, but it doesn't completely invalidate the applicability of the data.

Comparing no-transition borders with transition borders might also yield some interesting findings.
