I searched and couldn't find this posted, but I could have missed it.
Anyways, its pretty interesting because the official basically says Cavic touched first, but didn't "push" and slid, while Phelps pushed with force, etc etc. (He talks about this right at halfway through the video)

Personally I think you have to live with however the time system works as long as it is functional. If it was functional and Cavic didn't press hard enough, its tough luck.
The only alternative is to just present a "tie" when you are within the margin of error of the equipment.

Quote from the Omega rep "it is for sure, the video also shows it, that Cavic touched the pad before Phelps" ... this is a pretty clear statement and what possible reason could he have to make this up ??
I also looked at the SI picture number 5 of 8 and enlarged it ... I think Cavic's finger is already touching the wall .. but I am not sure.
