As for the 0.1 rule of thumb..if the monitor is available it will tell you what to put back up. If there's no monitor then I frankly don't see how a human can determine 0.1 seconds. IOW it's not an obvious error. But for the obvious errors something has to come off.

That's cool. Now 'splain to me exactly how you
know, using the monitor and clock display, exactly
when the clock should have been stopped? The whistle for the foul is supposed to stop the clock. How do you know exactly at what point on the clock/monitor display that the whistle actually sounded? Are you really telling me that you can watch the monitor and say for certain that the
whistle for the foul occurred with
exactly 0.1 seconds left on the clock? Or 0.2 seconds? or 0.3 seconds?
Hell, they couldn't analyze the Zapruder film that closely. You're guessing. The rules don't allow that.
