Clearly, and by common sense, the foul happened with more than 13.1 left. But, what could we put on the clock?

Why is it different if it's 3.1 or 1.31 or .31 left when you notice the clock?
You put 14.1 on the clock right? Because you had definite information that the skirmishing lasted longer than one second and you saw 13.1 left. You added those two to get 14.1. I don't mean that flippantly, I just am trying to understand how you can say you only had definite information of the 13.1; if they pushed and shoved for a few seconds you could be sure it was at least 1 (maybe even at least 2 --depending on what you had definite knowledge of) and it seems you should give those seconds as well.
