Really? What is your rules basis for saying you have definite knowledge that one second should have elapsed? Did you look at the clock when you blew your whistle? If so, you're right. Of course, this is what I said previously in this thread.
The only time you can put back on is what ran after your whistle blew.
If, in your scenario, the whistle didn't blow until 2 seconds were left, that's what you're stuck with.
BTW, if this is what you're saying, you're not really disagreeing with JR.
If you don't look at the clock after you blow the whistle, and then look up later and see it stopped at 2 seconds; you're stuck with two seconds. No definite knowledge.
