When an event has a time, the decision ceases to be theoretical:
There is a substantial difference between a possible event and a scheduled event. As long as something does not have a time, it remains in the realm of the interpretable. It is analyzed, discussed, and weighed. The moment a time is set, that same event ceases to be an abstract idea and becomes a real friction point for the user's decision. Not because the event changes, but because the user's relationship with it changes.
On a first layer, time acts as a limit. Before it exists, the operator can remain in a state of prolonged observation. Information accumulates without requiring a stance. The absence of a defined time allows the decision to be postponed without apparent psychological cost. But when the time appears, that elasticity disappears. The user no longer evaluates just the context; they evaluate their own position regarding a point that is not going to move.
