Actually he/we can, It's used everyday in analysis/pattern recognition. Certain habits/characteristics are ingrained; say patterns of speech, patterns writing etc that are easily recognized by the observer. The successful sock must actually think and become a whole new person with new characteristics that must be maintained as the sock gets comfortable. However most socks revert to the true identity as they get comfy.

And for those of us with elephant caliber memories pertaining to random (often useless) details and patterns (like me) spotting a sock is pretty easy.

I remember, it was like '74 or '75, they ran Savings Time during winter as part of some Global Energy Emergency or something. I remember getting up for school in the pitch dark, carpooling in deep dusk, and arriving at school under sometimes spectacular skies on fire. I loved the waning gibbous moon. It looked like a Hindenburg-class airship emerging from shadow.

I didn't realize it started before Roosevelt. Thought also it had to do with not only conserving resources in wartime but for farming states so they could have more daylight hours to work

Daylight saving time, suggested by President Roosevelt, was imposed to conserve fuel, and could be traced back to World War I, when Congress imposed one standard time on the United States to enable the country to better utilize resources, following the European model. The 1918 Standard Time Act was meant to be in effect for only seven months of the year–and was discontinued nationally after the war. But individual states continued to turn clocks ahead one hour in spring and back one hour in fall. The World War II legislation imposed daylight saving time for the entire nation for the entire year. It was repealed Sept. 30, 1945, when individual states once again imposed their own “standard” time. It was not until 1966 that Congress passed legislation setting a standard time that permanently superceded local habits.
