The author is right. I couldn't believe it when I first learnt the difference between UTC and TAI that Unix time based on UTC. It makes no sense. And now they are talking about "correcting" UTC to make Unix time work? Thus defeating the entire point of UTC?

There's something about time that people seem to find very difficult to reason with. It reminds me of the arguments between whether we should use standard time all year or daylight savings time all year.
