Yes, this particular "loop hole" has been changed. However, the greater point of it is still valid. Unless there is an actual timer (or mechanical) error, you can't put time on or take time off. What an individual official thinks is "the right thing" isn't relevant here if it goes against the rules. It's exactly the kind of thing the FED wants to get away from, because it inserts the official too much into the contest. It then becomes about what the official thinks rather than what the rules say.

It ain't about us.
