Did you get to 4 on three different 5 counts? You definitely did regardless of how accurate that counts are.

Definition of definite.
1.
clearly defined or determined; not vague or general; fixed; precise; exact:
a definite quantity; definite directions.
I understand your point and I have no trouble with if you are at a 4 count being able to take 4 seconds off the clock even though 4 is an approximation. I feel that definite is not the correct term. You do have a definite count but not definite knowledge of how much time to take off. It is just semantics however I feel it could be worded better
