Although I agree that it may be difficult to
count in tenths of a second, people certainly have the ability to
differentiate between x, x.5, and x+1 seconds.
Case in point: you know that I work in TV graphics. When I evaluate system performance for 24/7 live operation, and if the HD signal blips, I can often tell to within a few frames what frame number(s) were the one(s) that hiccuped. Ya, I may have some specialty training, but it's not that difficult at all. With 30 frames per second, you can do the seconds/frame math.
Recall those plays in state finals where watching in full speed first, (hopefully) your instinct is to waive off a basket. These cases had the release 0.5 seconds or less after the buzzer.
