Huh am I missing something?
13 x 28 = 364 but a year has 365,2425 days
The new year day is a transition day and is not in the calendar, but rather in between years

Hm i don't really see a good point for this. It's not too hard to use a calendar compared to the effort it would take the world to switch.
Nah, if a few aliens put some nukes or worse weapons to our heads from above, maybe shoot a couple here and there, we would definitely switch within 2 weeks at most.
Or, you know, we could just phase out the politics, give some ample time for economies and a few other select business that have work on very very puctual timing, like a few years tops, the 99% of the world would switch pretty seamlessly over a week at most. The remaining 1% could just as easily keep the old year length to continue their internal businesses. Changing most things, especially if from an incorrect or arbitrary thing to a systemic one, is rather easy but hard to accept.
Now rip to people who have birthdays on weekdays because that will never change. People who have birthdays on weekends would hugely luck out.
Do you understand how many computer programs will crash when you try to introduce a "month" consisting of a single day for this New Year holiday, or alternatively a day which does not have a corresponding month?
Is your Netflix subscription going to renew in December, and then next in January, or is there a troll of a month sitting in between where you're charged for a day?
How many schedulers have rules like the second Tuesday of the month, or the last Friday of the month, and those days don't even exist!
Is this special holiday even assigned a weekday? If it is, do we repeat the same weekday twice to keep the 28 day months on the same weekday schedule?
Madness! /S
