> No, I think it's very important to understand that local times in the future do not identify a point in time and that local times are not necessarily tied to any particular location.

I mean, they sometimes do. You might want to wake up at 7.00 AM in the morning regardless of what timezone you’re in, but if I ask Siri what time sunrise is tomorrow (very relevant for setting my alarm!) she better give it to me in local time taking time zones into account.

Another example: I’ve added all the F1 races and qualifications this year to my calendar (I’m a big fan) so I can easily check that the Italian Grand Prix at Monza starts today at 3.00 PM my local time. If I travel to another timezone, my calendar better adjust, or else I’ll miss the races.
