Yeah, Nevada I hate to say it, but I think you're over-interpreting this. One of the rules fundamentals is that "the whistle rarely causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead)." Usually definite knowledge relative to the time involved is not available, plus there is some tolerance for human reaction time in stopping the clock. But this shot clock case is a unique scenario for which definite knowledge is available and precise. I know for certain exactly when (on the game clock) the violation occurred. I can't see any reason I would not, therefore, put that time on the clock.
