I agree with both of these statments. Particularly as they pertain to the OP.

But if the "table guy" (Timer) can tell you that he definitely knew there was 16 seconds left when he started (erroneously) the clock, that would qualify as definite knowledge. The timer is part of our crew and it is good enough for me.

I am not disagreeing with anything said here. I am only saying that the timer and scorer and the other officials can be used by the referee to gain definite knowledge. Just didn't want this thread to lead anyone to believe that the timer could not help.
