I have come to conclude that probably, a terrible amount of these inconsistencies is to make it artificially hard, to "keep out the lower classes" from thinking, or sth. Similar to how the white population in the US made living in suburbs artificially difficult (car dependency, HOAs, ...) to keep the "poor" (a.k.a. black) people out. it's thinly veiled racism.
Or maybe it's just a way to overlay multiple levels of information over the same circle.
It's dangerous making conclusions from big assumptions.
Is the kind of reasoning that leads to bias.
id argue its also thinly veiled racism to imply black people are too stupid to understand clocks
nono that was not what i was saying, sorry if it came across that way ... i was making an analogy to housing, but maybe it came across wrong. i'm sorry
