Good point. Since we are looking at approximating the time it takes to go around the sun, then it does lend to a question upon why or how something is more "accurate"? Isn't the time we look at arbitrary? We say the one second is this because WE say it is. Just as one minute is 60 seconds. Even months and years really are just arbitrary units.
I'm posing more of a question, not disputing this article.
