Is that so? Rashbam aside, the prooftext for our days is from Maaseh
Bereishis and "vayhi erev vayhi voqer".

But in any case, I would point to another calendar in which the night
follows the day -- avodas habayis. And so the zeman including the next
night isn't really surprising. To my mind the question would be
more why the zeman akhilah doesn't start until night, why is it /only/
the night after and not from after haqaravah including the following night.

For that matter, since the Pesach has most of the dinim of shelamim,
not eating it the next day is equally unique to the pesach.
