1.8 seconds less the 1 second for lag time would be .8 seconds? Just a guess.

Yes, but the post says, "they put 0.8 seconds back on the clock." You can't "put 0.8 seconds back on the clock."
If the clock had .8 seconds on it when the TO was requested, then lag time kicks in and the game is over.
If the clock had 1.8, as you speculated, and ticked down to 0:00, then by rule, 1.8 would have to be put back on the clock.
Bottom line, if the clock ticked down to 0:00, then there's no way that I can think of that you can put less than 1.1 seconds back on the clock, which is why Chuck asked the question.
