NCAA lag time rule book vs. case play

Can someone explain to me the apparant discrepancy between NCAA rule 2-6-2 and case 2-6-2 A.R. 11. 2-6-2 In short says the referee should correct the clock if they have "definite knowledge that more than one second elapsed" The case right after that in situation B has the referee correcting a clock that went from 5.0 to 4.5 because "more than one second has elapsed"

??? Is the book contradicting itself or am I reading something wrong?

The new rule for 2006 has partially fixed this saying you could correct a clock with tenths of a second if you have definite knowledge, but it doesn't say what to do if a clock does NOT have tenths of a second and has 1 second of lag.

So am I correct in my understanding of the new rule that if a clock goes from 5.0 to 4.0 or even 5.0 to 4.9 the referee can fix it-but if it doesn't have tenths and goes from 5 to 4 you can't fix it?
