The big hand and the little hand both pointing to twelve at the same time has got comparatively little to do with the noon latitude. If you keep on insulting the navigation department about their abilities, or lack thereof, we will resort to pouring yesterdays cold coffee down the voice pipe instead of the high quality libations normally poured.
We would suggest you keep your expertise to lubricating your big end and other such uninspiring tasks.
