what you say made sense, until I read the following

Not really. I don't see it that way see. To me, the am/pm follows the
Hour that it is in. You can't have 12:00PM then 12:01AM. Because the
hour is the same, then the 1 minute after the hour must reside within the
same AM/PM as the beginning of the hour. It would be more confusing to me
if the 12:00PM is followed by 12:01AM. If it were that way then what
would 12:00:01 be? But of course that's just the way I look at it.
