It's a misconception. You are making arithmetics with times. And time in
LibreOffice is just a fraction of a base unit, which is a day. 12:00:00 in
LibreOffice is 0.5 (half a day). You are *not* doing simple integer
calculations. Just try to format your cells as numbers.
And you may see the bug I linked as See Also that you might want to track. This
is either NOTABUG or duplicate of that one, in any case it should be closed.
