I would still say that you have to go with what it says as far as allowing a catch and shoot or not.
The point is that if there is "known" but unquatifiable imprecision in stopping the clock, that the distinction of 0.3 is not a reasonable restriction....the same known but unquantifiable imprecision should carry through to the buzzer leaving the officials to judge based on the buzzer alone.

Note that I've not changed my mind (that i would use the time shown on at least one of the clocks), just playing the DA.
