    There's a fine line between a love of accuracy and obsessive pedantry. Actually: perhaps not so fine a line.https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/682748531543797760 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    To all those who reckon time on the Gregorian Calendar - Happy New Year! (FYI: January 1 is astronomically insignificant.)

        @NeilBhatiya But what he wrote makes no sense. Every human calendar date is "astronomically insignificant."

        @HeerJeet that's the kind of line that would get someone removed from the dinner table.

        @zrahul2020 Oh, I think I understand NDT's schtick. Just think it has outlasted its usefulness.

        @HeerJeet He isn't wrong. I mean, today is only the 11th of Nivôse on the French Republican Calendar.
