These are reasonings handed out after the fact to instill compliance and understanding to be used in defense of keeping the 24hour world clock in place as a standard after Railroad Corporations instituted the practice so their employees and shipments were able to predictably be in the expected place and negotiations over who could use what rail line when could be legally enforceable and eventually recieve Exclusive Rights of Use. It's an interesting bit of contractual warfare and new technology being used to create systematic standards meant by their Creators to last am eternity with predictable effects on society
