If anyone is going to require "definite knowledge" by the pure definition of the word, then we never have it. Our visible counts are not as accurate as the clock. At best we have a reasonable estimation as to how much time to take off. Its the best we can do and is better than just making something up. Also, if my partner is responsible for a visible count but forgets to provide one, can I not provide him with my mental count if I have one (a count that is and not a mind ) to help in determining how much time to take off? I believe by rule I can.


The definition of definite....

clearly defined or determined; not vague or general; fixed; precise; exact: a definite quantity; definite directions; positive; certain; sure:
