I'm not arguing that "some on this board have interpreted" it this way. I will suggest that it's the wrong interpretation, though.

Assumption: The official blows the whistle and immediately / simultaneously looks at the clock.

Then -- if the timer stops the clock within 1 second, go with the timer. If the timer does not stop the clock within 1 second, go with what the official saw.
