Yes, there is a lag time of one second but I could always put the .9 back on. Definite knowledge. This is where your arguement is wrong. You assume that the rule change last year gave us the ability to now do this. Well, again you are wrong. We could always do this, lag time or not. The rule change this past season was moot to me.
If i have definite knowledge and it is different than what the time now reads. I now have a timer mistake. The timer may not have done anything wrong, it's just the clock is displaying the wrong time. Get this, whenever I go to adjust the current time, it means the timer has made a mistake. Just like if i go over your house and i see my stolen TV, I taken it with me. Doesn't mean you actually stole it, but the TV coming back home with me. Get it.....!!!!

This is why almost everyone here is against you. You are calling people names when they quote you the rules. You also admit you do not know, and do not follow the rules. That makes you disservice to all the newer officials and coaches that look at this site for advice. That is also, above all else, unfair to the players. And the players are the most important aspect. It is totally unfair to them if you call the game using rules and philosophies that are different than the rules used by the other officials, because then the players do not know what to expect. If you are the only official in your league, and you work every game, then great, the players know what to expect; call it however you see fit.
Up until now I have shown restraint and a great deal of patience, but now I too am joining the ranks in calling for your account to be pulled. You do not offer any value to most discussions, you have been shown to be wrong in a majority of your statements, you resort to name-calling when you have been shown to be wrong, and you show very little in real communication skills. If your intent is to learn from this site, it would be better for you to sit back and just listen. If your intent is to show off your vast officiating skills, you have missed by a wide margin. If your intent is to become a joke, you have succeeded by a wide margin.
