Whether the clock starts or stops on time is irrelevent to me from this point forward.

1. This is for taking time off the clock, not for putting it back on.
There is no case reference where you can put time back on the clock without having seen a specific time on the clock.
2. Definite knowledge is still gained, in this case play, by counting. If you're going to lie and state that you had a definite count that places the clock at .9 seconds; then your integrity is also in question.
