Not sure why there's the discrepancy, but I seem to remember an issue in a PC game a few seasons ago.
Well, there are 3 things that are supposed to happen at *exactly* the same time (00:00.0, LED and horn) that in practice do not because of how the electronics work AND on top of that the official is viewing a replay on something that only gives him 30 views per second. Lots of uncertainty.

For some reason they decided during replay first look for the clock, then look for the LED, then listen for the horn.
