Note that the names "simple-time" and "complex-time" are themselves
complex in structure, unlike "dog" and "cat". "Dog" and "cat" are
both ground-level notions with simple, native words. "Mammal" is above
ground level. But "time of day" is a ground-level notion, and "human
time convention" vs. "structural time convention" is below ground level.
