Bodkin, you will never win an argument by lying.

A moment in time can be given a label, like '9am, Dec22,2010'. That is 
not a unit. Julian day 23456, is also a label.
Units have dimensions. TIME with dimension T, is always a time INTERVAL

In the statement, "an event occurred at time t1", t' is a label, not a unit.

If I were you Bodkin, I would leave physics to the experts.
