Huh? Where else would precision mean the most, than at the end of a close game?

Am I going to correct 0.2 in the first half? Nope, because the clock doesn't show tenths at that time. So the only thing I can correct is whole seconds. The only time the clock shows tenths is in the last minute of the quarter/half/game. That is also when tenths of a second mean more. Would I be looking closely at the end of a 20-point game? Probably not. But I would certainly be watching very closely at the end of a close game.
