Agree, in all cases except thisvery particular one. In this one though, if you can't say the the clock stopped exactly at 0.4 seconds or some other completely accurate time, then you don't have the rules backing to go back and set the clock at any time before the horn.

Believe me, if anybody could convince me otherwise, I'd surrender in a NY minute. I'm growing old(er) discussing this one.
