Just as if a travel were to occur at 13.1 seconds remaining and the official whistles for it at 12.7, the correct time for the game clock would be 12.7, not the time of the violation.

I would only agree on shot clock violations where the ball was shot and failed to hit the rim. Then there may be discrepancy between game and shot clock. However in the case where a player is dribbling and the officials blow the whistle, say a second after the horn, I would go with the math and deduct the shot clock from game clock as what to set my timer at.
