No, I didn't claim that the consistent usage of D in %s is a random fact.
I didn't say you claimed it was a random fact, I said it _is_ a random fact. How do you came to this conclusion?
You based your entire argument for this LHHT invention on nothing else but that it happens to be true of the data that exists now. Not true. I mentioned it already, using LHDT for 0:30 /and/ for 1:00 saving may lead to ambiguities, e.g. if two time records with one of the offsets each are displayed next to each other.
But as long as both 0:30 and 1:00 offsets weren't in use at the same time, and you know the history, you can work out which one was used for any particular timestamp.
I did invent LHHT without knowing about xHDT usage in the database. When I found out about the wide usage of HD I changed my proposal to LHHDT.
There's nothing in Theory that says abbreviations with D must mean 1:00. It's in Practice.
