No, I was actually poking fun at what Simon quoted earlier:

Time t starting from where? Ending where?
You can't even get astronomers to agree on this:

So without agreement on when the period of "time t" occurs, there's no
agreeing on when the resource existed.
Don't even get me started on relativistic effects near light speed.
To paraphrase Humpty-Dumpty: A resource is exactly what I say it is.
