The other party that may "care about" this mistake is the team that was behind.....and catching up fast. With only a couple minutes left in the game....the Refs CHANGED THE CLOCK by 30 or 40 seconds...with no definite information to base it on.

I think you took Snaqwells' quote out of context. I assumed he was saying throughout the game, seconds are lost. In counting seconds without a stopwatch, which we attempt to do on almost every play, seconds can be lost. Not only by the officials count, but by the timers sec or so of delay by the time the whistle sounds and the clock is stopped. So every time the whistle is blown, there is 1-2-3 seconds lost. This is by no means a science! It's a game! And, we all do out best,right?
