Because without a monitor it would nearly impossible to have the knowledge needed to make such an adjustment to the clock.

Well, how do they go by contact? How do they determine accurately to within a tenth of a second when contact on this particular play becomes a foul? Or do they guess?

They view the video and use their best judgment to determine when the contact that constitutes a foul takes place. Once the officials determine the point on the video replay when that happens they freeze the display and look at the little clock on the screen. Whatever that clock says is the amount put back on. Sound simple enough?

In the AR you've got a RULE that says that you do NOT put 0.1 seconds back on the clock. All of the theses in the world can't change that little slice of history.

How about a rule interpretation from September 19, 2005?
