No, you miss the point. The name implies saving daylight, not time. Show 
me anyone who can do that. (And I won't ask why Saving has to be 
plural.)

More examples: what is the one thing that shock-absorbers don't do? What 
does a condenser (on a carburettor) condense? What heat-transfer 
mechanism does a car radiator use? (Hint: if it uses radiation, why does 
it need a fan?)

This is now way off-topic. It is fun though.
