I've never seen one start at 34. They all show 35.

Most game clocks will "instantly" move to 34 (or 19:59 or 7:59) when they are turned on. The actual time remianing is the time shown plus up to .9 seconds.

I'm not sure that I agree with that. How do you know unless you're the one starting the clock? I don't believe that's possible to determine from the court.
With every shot clock I've ever seen, the horn sounds when the clocks hits 0, not one second or .9 later. If what you're saying is true, then A is actiually only getting 34 seconds to shoot.

In any event, using the shot (or game) clock as a substitute for / supplement to the 10-second count only works if control and touching happen at the same time.

Agreed.
