I'm not missing that. I get that. Here's what I think you're possibly missing: the ball becomes dead on the inadvertent whistle. Howintheheck can you take more time off the clock after the ball was dead? The ball was live for 0.5 seconds (just for an example), but since the clock wasn't running, we're going to take off 1.1?
I'm just asking. How can you take more time off the clock than the ball was actually live for? If there was a whistle (and again, I didn't see the play or hear a whistle), but if there was a whistle then the ball becomes dead at that point. How can you take time off the clock for a period when the ball was dead?
And I'm not even going to address your POI questions because they're completely irrelevant to the timing question.
