Feel free to do that. I'd rupture something laughing if I tried that.

I'm feeling a bit lazy today, JR. But can you quote for me this rule that says we must have "exact" knowledge? I thought it said "definite" knowledge. I can have "definite" knowledge that 4 seconds have gone off, even if I know it was actually an indeterminately longer time.
"Exact" would be too high a standard to ever implement. Practice swinging all you want, but you'll never have a 5 second count that lasts "exactly" 5 seconds.
