I can see the rationale for that side, but it just doesn't make any sense to me to not take off any time at all. Besides, 5-10-2 says, "If the referee determines that the clock was not started or stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official's count or other official information can be used to make a correction." That's exactly what I did - I made a correction based on the count(s). I can't make a correction on the rest of the time because I don't have any count or official information. That rule doesn't say, "...relative to all of the time in question..." or something similar.
