It is certainly a reasonable assumption, but that's all it is. Every year we have at least a couple of questions where either you must assume something or else they're just flat out wrong. I'll deal with it.

That's true in almost all tests. In the NCAAW test, there's a question to the effect of: "With 57.7 left in the game, A1 inbounds the ball. The ball is immediately deflected out of bounds. The clock shows 56.5. The referee should have .3 taken off the clock."

Do they mean .3 from the original time (True)? Or, .3 from the current time (false)?

On last year's test, they had the same question, except "The referee should have an additional .1 taken off."

So, my guess is that THIS YEAR's answer would be "false"

Allow me to pose another scenario.
Last second shot at the end of a period.
The covering official is an Umpire. He decides that the try was released after the horn and should not count.
The non-covering official by the mechanics manual happens to be the R. He disagrees and believes that the try was released before the horn and should count.

jar,
Is the ball dead or not? Does 2-5-3 empower the R to count the goal even though it isn't his call according to the PCA in the manual?

No 2-2-6 No official has the authority to set aside or question decisions made by the other official(s) within the limits of their respective outlined duties.
