The blue text is only relevant if the officials don't have definite knowledge of when it should have stopped. If the officials can determine how much time was on the clock when the whistle blow or how much time was on the clock after the whistle blew but before it hit 0.0, the timer should have also been able to stop the clock. If they KNOW the whistle was blown at 0.2, they should put 0.2 back on the clock. If, after the whistle, they see it at 0.1, they put 0.1 back on. If the whistle blows and the horns sounds IMMEDIATELY after it before an official can see the clock, don't put time back....shoot the FTs with no one on the lane.
