I still don't see why, if you have definite knowledge, you wouldn't put up the full time that was lost in both situations. Why do you have to subtract the "lag" time of 1 second if you know the correct time to put back on the clock?

'Cause that's the rule - 8 minute quarters include lag time.

I think the main reason is that many high schools have clocks which don't display tenths of seconds. You might end up actually adding time to what was left.
