Hi,
a sample thought (you need not take it seriously):
> MY MODEL:

A possible POV: once upon a time the time values in Rebol behaved like:
a: 12:30 ; == 12:30
a/hour: 13 ; == 13:30
a ; == 12:30
Back then your rule was incorrect. Your rule hasn't changed since then and
therefore it is still incorrect.
