Why is 12 hour time even taught? Wouldn’t it just be easier to remember 13:00 instead of 1:00pm?

Hi Everyone,
I’m locking this post, I understand that this is pretty much always an unpopular decision. This question, which is fundamentally ‘why is the 12 hour time system used, and how does it compare to 24 hour systems”, has drawn an enormous number of rule breaking responses in addition to a few well thought out and well phrased ones.
Particularly we don’t allow opinion based answers (rule 5) and anecdotal answers (rule 3), so any top level comment either (solely) sharing an opinion on the systems, or sharing an anecdote of how x country, or your experience with y system made you feel unfortunately needs to be removed.
Rather than continuously remove 95% of the comments as per the rules I’m opting to lock the post so that you can still see the answers and gain the knowledge, but won’t break the rules yourself sharing your experience (we know we are strict).
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you still get a good dose of education from the discussion remaining.
