What you are referring to is very interesting, but is referring only to the "instants" of noon and midnight.

Technically, it is correct to label 00:00:01 as "AM," yes?

So, I could also label 00:00:00.1 AM, yes?

How about 00:00:00.001 AM?

You can probably see where this is going. By the time the clock has changed to 12:00 (or 00:00, or 24:00) some amount, albeit a very small amount perhaps, of time has elapsed. Yes, even if the hands or digits don't show that resolution, the time has elapsed. So the AM/PM would apply. Looking at time on a clock is by nature not "instantaneous"; the argument about what to label these instants exists only in theory, and doesn't apply when you are actually reading a clock in the real world.
