Well, since 9.9999999... = 10 [0], then 50 + 9.999999... = 50 + 10
Given that, to you claim, 11:59.59.99999[...] is still AM, then 11:59:60 is still AM, thus 12:00:00 is still AM.

Well, while the numbers of nines is finite, it's still AM.
I'm arguing for switching the very moment the number of nines is infinite, or, in other words, they've turned into (an equally infinite number of) zeros.
Limits work from both directions. 12:00:00.1 is PM, 12:00:00.00001 is PM, so 12:00:00 is PM. Contradiction. /s, it's all in good fun :)
Even if you're right, by the time the words come out of your mouth, it's now PM.
