This is the correct explanation. Having grown up in a house full of analog clocks and preferring them still today, it’s hard for me to understand the difficulty so many people have using analog, or why it’s hard to interpret the logic used in conveying it. But it really is just a matter of immersion and perspective. People who prefer analog appear to perceive time in fractions and circular cycles. Half to/past, quarter to/past, etc. are how we actually view and perceive the day. It’s more than just a number.

I like the way you explained it. This is how it feels when I interpret time from an analog clock.
