Yes - it's an official's error NOT a clock error.

No one is suggesting that the clock mis-timed the last ten seconds. Note the last sentence of the ruling "There is no provision for the correction of an error made in the official's accuracy in counting seconds." That is the point of 5.10.1 C - that the official's count is independent of the clock. This casebook play has nothing to do with the 2.8 seconds left situation.

Mark:

Thank you for making the point I was trying to make but was too lazy to point out.
