I understand you got your context specific terminology, from the
mentioned book, where you are making philosophically different
distinction between occurence and event as opposed to distinction by
its ordinary meaning in English.
What really matters
-------------------
What matters is aid to users' life.
When arguing, try to make a checklist and TEST it:
- [ ] can user easily understand the time displayed?
- [ ] can user relate the displayed time to his local time without
hesitation?
- [ ] is that program that programmer creates beneficial to user or to
programmer, or theoretician of absolutes, rights and wrongs?
How to test it?
Usability Testing 101:
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/usability-testing-101/
Today there is in computing pretty much agreement that:
-------------------------------------------------------
- All computer time should be stored to UTC, UTC being basis for any
other computations
- System libraries have (or should have) various configurations
- Computer users should be shown their local time
* Overview of noun occurrence
-----------------------------
The noun occurrence has 2 senses (first 2 from tagged texts)
1. (29) happening, occurrence, occurrent, natural event -- (an event that
happens)
2. (3) occurrence -- (an instance of something occurring; "a disease of
frequent occurrence"; "the occurrence (or presence) of life on other planets")
* Overview of noun event
The noun event has 4 senses (first 2 from tagged texts)
1. (62) event -- (something that happens at a given place and time)
2. (6) event, case -- (a special set of circumstances; "in that event, the
first possibility is excluded"; "it may rain in which case the picnic will be
canceled")
3. event -- (a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time; the
fundamental observational entity in relativity theory)
4. consequence, effect, outcome, result, event, issue, upshot -- (a phenomenon
that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon; "the magnetic effect
was greater when the rod was lengthwise"; "his decision had depressing
consequences for business"; "he acted very wise after the event")
