There's a meaningful difference, it the question of whether your whole timing system is based on a lie. Is midnight in the middle of the night? Is midday in the middle of the day?

Is midday in the middle of the day? Solar midday already isn't the middle of the day in much of the world. It happens around 3pm for me in the summer, and before noon in the winter. Not everyone in the world lives close to the equator. All time is, in a very real sense, just a consensual lie we agree to tell ourselves.
