I agree wholeheartedly.

Clocks operate under the laws of physics, which the examiner appears to have rewritten to fit his arguments. Now the law of the land allows this to be proved during the appeal process.

In keeping with your movie analogy, Detective Inspector Harry Callahan has his gun pointed at the examiner, "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"

Be well
