And the use of daylight saving / summer time actually brings the time
of sunrise closer to constancy in places that use it, so in a sense
this actually underscores the relationship of civil time to solar
time even though in the technical sense of agreement with the time of
midday it causes the local time to diverge further from precise solar
mean time.
