Wouldn't dates with times also be ranges? The ranges are just tighter. If something happened at 11:02AM, did it really happen at 11:02AM? Or did it really happen somewhere between 11:02.0AM and 11:02.99999AM?

Yes.

You can frame this from either the perspective of ranges or the perspective of degrees of precision.

I think both are valid, useful conceptions. You could argue they're semantically identical, I think?
