It's not just about your system's current time. It's about timestamps
that you handle in any kind of software. If you process dates and times
from the past, e.g. in a database application, and intend to display
them to humans, then you'll want to use a historically accurate timezone.
Which America/New_York is incorrect from 1918 to 1966, possibly into the
1970s/80s depending upon your location in the Eastern Standard Time zone.
