I appreciate the reply, but if we have the authority to end a quarter early if the clock was slow to start, then why can't we put time on if the clock starts early?

By rule, the key phrase is definite knowledge. When dealing in tenths, there is no definite knowledge. In your play, ball touched inbounds, horn sounds, by rule there is nothing you can do.

Which is not to say it has never been done.
