Can You Explain It?

Will somebody please explain to me, again, how moving the hands on a mechanical device (or resetting an electronic timer) creates extra daylight?

Mercifully, I live in an area that doesn't believe in this bit of modern "magic" - consequently I don't have to set or reset my clocks twice a year. And, funny thing is, I seem to have the same amount of daylight here as my neighbors in Ohio and Illinois do ... imagine that!

Here's a bit of the history of this idiotic idea.
