I say that's definite knowledge.

Unless you saw the actual time to an exact tenth of a second, it is
not definite knowledge.
You can put back up the exact time that you first see when you look at the clock. And that's not what I'm saying. That's what the
rules are saying.
When they got rid of lag time last year, this is what was stated in the COMMENTS on the new rule:
This change eliminates the need for lag time or reaction time on the part of the clock operator. The referee may put the exact time observed by an official back on the game clock. The committee felt that with new clock technology and the ability to observe tenths of a second, when an official has definite knowledge relative to the time involved, he/she should have the ability to put the correct time on the game clock."
If you don't get a clear view and see an exact time, then
NO, you can't put any time back on. What you actually
see is the only time that can go back on. Dem's the rules.
