You can take four seconds off the clock in this case because your count is considered definite knowledge. Only time you can do this.

His question was not about a clock mistake; his question was more geared towards a situation where by rule we run time off the clock for a delay call. Kind of like the NFL rule that if there is a false start within a certain time (I think the last two minutes of a half), you automatically run off 10 seconds. I would not call the basketball equivalent a run off, but a time correction based on definite knowledge of how much time should or should not have run off. It is clear to me he was not talking about correcting time, but a rule that allows you to run time just because of a delay. There is no such rule.
