Did you ever wonder why Dock tors are so specifically required to announce exact time of birth and time of death?

I understand the need for medical diligence. For example if the documentation was a collection of the time, condition (lying position, chemistry, open areas), and maybe a patient name or number. We would be interested in the circumstances of birth and death. On short notice, those 3 axes would be pretty useful.

Furthermore, our modern record keeping abilities through security cameras and the like would be able to track these events without a need for the dock tor to be so exclusive about it.

Somebody wants this information for something.

Birthdates are similar. One of the first things you're asked on anything legal at all is your birthdate. Now it could ask for some biometric quality like your eye colour, because we assume the purpose is to authenticate the person filling the form. But so prominently they want your birthdate.

It's almost as if time is a universal locater. To understand where you are, they need to know *when* you are.

You know what else tries to track time accurately? All shipping procedures. Truck, plain, boat whatever. And the record always needs to reflect a dock of some kind. Not, for example, when it left the seller's hand and when it landed on the buyer's hand, to ensure validity of transaction.

Our entire socio-political system thrives on cargo shipping logic, with the reasons dubious at best.
