I don't see ignorance there. The position statement says (1) there's good 
evidence that twice-yearly changes are harmful, and (2) there's less-good but 
still good-enough evidence that year-round DST has health risks. Whether the 
first hour of work is labeled "3" (as in the Bible) or "8" or "9" is irrelevant 
to those statements; what matters is the time that workers arise, relative to 
the sun.
