Like one of the officials observing 0.9 seconds on the game clock when the whistle was sounded? That's not guessing. Right?

Correct. Definite knowledge. Put 0.9 up and carry on.

As a non-calling official I want to and try to look up at the clock as soon as I hear a whistle. But I’ve had to train my brain to do this. It’s not instinctive, and I still don’t always do it, especially if there’s dead ball shenanigans going on or likely to occur.
