To clarify what potato said:

If someone was brought up from birth with the words "grue" and "bleen," how would they say something was "green," in their language? Well, they'd have to say that something was grue before, say, 2050, but bleen after. Something that changes from grue to bleen is clearly more complicated to write down than something that just stays grue all the time.
