I did not say it was a constant time. I said it’s not tied to the “I’m hungry” event. Stopping to eat whenever one feels like it is a very privileged state historically.
I don’t think it’s accurate to say I agree with the article. Certainly clocks are a relatively recent invention. That doesn’t mean I agree with its central thesis, which I think is essentially unsupported by the various anecdotes and historical tidbits the article contains.
Which doesn't necessarily happen at the same time every hunt. There's no post-hunt retro at 1300 every day.
You're agreeing with the article that until very recently, event times were flexible and determined by processes that aren't the vibration of a piece of quartz.
