How am I confusing them? You wrote:

And I'm saying, in response, that if you want to formalize the concept of a
time point in a particular time zone, this isn't a good way to do it. If
instead you want to formalize the concept of a particular point in time at
a particular UTC offset, then it's fine, of course, but at that point, I'd
just reiterate Tab's response.
