You keep bringing up 5-9-1, and according to 5-9-1, the timer did
not start the clock according to the rule. The rule states the timer is to start the clock on my signal, and they didn't. By rule, I also stopped the clock immediately upon the violation: 5-8-1(c). I followed the rule; they didn't stop the clock immediately, so there's the mistake.

Good, now we're getting somewhere...
Look, I keep saying I understand the point you're making about 5-9-4, and the difference between that wording and the new ruling. I hope they fix that with one simple little word addition when the books come out.
Ok, I'm going to try to improve on my interlect over lunch.
