So, you're saying the following:
Whistle at 10.0 seconds (and ref sees this precisely with the whistle).
If the clock stops at 9.5 - let it be.
If the clock stops at 8.5 - set it to 10.0?
The one second lag time both the minimum to reset the clock
and where the clock is set. If more than one second runs off the clock - you only put time back on until that one second mark. (In the above example, if the clock stopped at 8.5, it is set to 9.0 - not 10.0).
Take another look at 5.10.1D - notice that the clock is reset to four, not five, seconds.
