Yeah, that is why I have to jump through more hoops in my example.

It _only_ returns silently if the current definition matches the
real timezone of the requested definition:
--
my $dta = "DateTime::TimeZone::Alias";
$dta->remove("EST"); # Start with a clean slate
$dta->add("EST" => "US/Eastern"); # Succeeds
$dta->add("EST" => "US/Eastern"); # Succeeds
$dta->add("EST" => "America/New_York"); # Succeeds
$dta->add("EST" => "America/Chicago"); # Fails
