    I still don’t see the benefits. It’s a bit like saying that every Februar (in the Gregorian calendar) had 29 days but sometimes it’s imaginary and sometimes it’s not.

    Would you phone calendar show “imaginary days”? Could you schedule meetings on imaginary days? If yes - that would probably be a complete mess, and if not - why even call it “imaginary day” if it’s not a day at all.

    Seems a bit like a bandaid that tries to make it more symmetric/pretty. We could expand all months to 32 days in the Gregorian calender and just call some of the days imaginary. That way all months would be the exact same length 🤣
