One thing I have always argued is that the time required to start and stop the clock (not lag time - that refers to errors; I'm talking about the .2 seconds or so reaction of a good timer) is built in to the clock. That's just my personal philosophy, though.

The real reason this rule exists is because of clocks without tenths - they can show zero when there is really 0.9 left - plenty of time to get off a shot.
Thanks Mark. Well said.
