, while a time in a calendar is fixed in the nominal sense.

The above scenario of fixed time regardless of DST/TZ changes is what I tried to call "cultural/political time". In other comments, I called it "appointment time".

What you call "calendar time", others will call it "time with calculated UTC offset". (Which then leads to more meta discussion of "no... calendar time is not UTC offset because ..." )

Both examples of our ambiguous labels causing more confusion is prime example of the industry not converging on good names to make devs aware of the difference.

That categorization is fine but is still obscuring the key issue: many developers think they can collapse all of your 3 types into one simple strategy of "always store it as UTC"
