To just throw in a little support for Parsons on the semantics issue with 'begins', I think it can denote an abrupt change as well. When I turn on a furnace, I begin to feel heat. There is a dichotomy there of heat vs no heat or on vs off. I don't know if Parsons would disagree with a 'warming up' period in whatever new realm of experience we find ourselves in past the clock strike, but I can appreciate the possibility of the wording supporting a black and white 'change' of sorts... It could be either really.
