On the date line, I would have agree, except, the countries of the world set their date by it, so you are either adding or subtracting a whole day when you cross it, and that has very real effects on jet leg, even if the line itself is imaginary.
Ask the people in Alofi, Niue if they have jet lag when the cross the dateline into waters belonging to Samoa or New Zealand. I suspect that they will tell you they don't.
