Now tell the average railway clerk "The train is due at 0000 hours and I'll be there three hours ahead of it. Do you know what time that will be?" I suggest the concept of subtraction from zero makes the use of 0000 hours problematic in the real world. (Ever see a register clerk trying to takes sales when the register, with pre-labeled combo meals on each key, can't work?)
