Actually, a year is NOT 52 weeks. I don't know where you get that. A year is 52 weeks and 6 hours. A year is 52 weeks and one day. A year is 52 weeks and 2 days. A year is 53 weeks. A year is many things. Too many problems. As for what I suggested before, a week can be converted back into days for those who want them.
The only thing a year is constant on is a solar year. So if he took seconds divided by how many seconds in a solar year, that would be okay, yet it wouldn't serve much purpose since our calendar doesn't work that way.
