Quoting Paul Zander (paulz at ieee.org):

Valid point.  There's some value in seasonal checking.  E.g., my
furnace's digital clock had wandered off by something like 23 minutes.

I'd say the semantics are not _quite_ that mechanistic.  '1 AM' is
construed to mean 'one hour forward into the time block leading to noon'.
