The advantage of having SL all run on PST instead of multiple localized times, makes communication easier. Say we arrange to meet, and we agree on 6PM for the time, under the current system there is little chance of missunderstanding what time that is. Under a localized system we would have to esstablish which time zone that 6PM was in, leading to a much higher probability of misunderstandings.

Nicely put, this Procrustean time keeping system does work pretty well once you get use to it.
