I think I can appreciate this response, but my question remains, "Which display of 'the clock'?" The display on the scoreboard? Or the LED readout on the console which still says, for instance, .7 seconds remaining?
I'm trying to find rules basis for the thing here, and it seems 5-2-5 still leaves it an open question, "Which display of 'the clock'?" The response above might well fly in the face of 5-5-1, granting only 7 minutes and 59 seconds per quarter rather than the requisite 8 minutes.

Do systems whose horn sounds at 00:00 cheat the teams out of four seconds per regulation game compared to systems requiring those ten tenths of a second to expire before the horn?

Scoreboard.

I've never read anything regarding the LED readout on the console.

It's one of those instances where you tell a coach "sorry, but this is what the rule states, so that's what we have to go by".
