Re: Get Start Date of a Week Number

I would counter that the beauty of using week for groupings is
that weeks are the only consistent calendar grouping we have. A
week is 7 days. Always. Months vary, quarters vary, and years

decisions then consistent time frames are imperative. <<SNIP>>


In many places, a week can be an hour +/- than any other; i.e. weeks vary too, and thus *not* always consistent. The /rounding error/ for a varying length of a year in days is less than the /rounding error/ for the varying length of a week in hours. I expect there are very few businesses operating over those varying periods, that would care enough to attempt to distinguish the differences.
