I would take into consideration the time of game. If it is the end of the game and one team is decidedly ahead or in the middle of the game I leave it as just timers reaction time. If it is a two point game and down to the final seconds I would go with what I saw on the clock and have the time added back.

The higher up I hear advice from, the more I hear 'correct every timing mistake - no matter when it happens, no matter how small.' While a blowout with 0.4 seconds left can be left uncorrected, a timing mistake in the middle of a game often can affect the game.
Of course, each team can adjust to the 1-2 fewer seconds, but you still see shot clocks in NCAA being adjusted (often incorrectly, in my opinion) up or down one second when the clock is in the 33-35 range - still plenty of time for the team to adjust to having less than 35.
