RULING: After conferring with the timer and your partners, it is determined that:
a) the clock was prematurely stopped or had malfunctioned.
b) the clock had not malfunctioned and was not stopped until the official's whistle for the 5-second violation.
In a), use the procedure in rule 5.10.2 to correct the clock to 1.5 seconds.
In b), make no change to the clock.

You just don't get it. None of us here can explain it to you because you suffer from "you know everything".
The rules allow for some "human" discrepancy from when the official blows the clock dead to when it ACTUALLY stopped. For most of us it a few tenths to maybe even a half a second.
In the second instance the timer said they stopped it when they heard the whistle and that accounts for a .3 second differential. We can live with that. IF the time says they stopped it before then we change it. You are not going to see a 1 second lag in this instance. In my experience it's about .1-.3.
Your pseudo gibberish science and logic does not work here. It will not work in any game I work, and it makes no sense. You can try and confuse things but it doesn't work.
