    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.

      id argue its also thinly veiled racism to imply black people are too stupid to understand clocks
