You're right, I had it backwards, but it's not quite the way you're putting it either. What I should have said is that in America/Indiana/ Knox, 1:59:59 EST is followed immediately by 2:00:00 CDT.
But CDT doesn't begin until 3:00:00 CDT. In some sense, 2:00:00 CDT doesn't exist. That is, what you're proposing is that America/Indiana/Knox begins observing CDT an hour earlier than the rest of the Central Time Zone. Maybe that's right. The ruling you posted should have been clearer, but that's not the fault of anyone here.
The rules I posted should be correct, though.
