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.

Are you all blind?
No we are all not blind - I would check the order on those in photo bucket as it would be easy to take the pictures out of order and show a different result, because the SI photos and other sources show a much different picture - while extremely close. First the SI photos show Phelps on the left and Cavic on the right also the sequence is odd in the photo bucket and its Phelps, not Felps. Plus Phelps wore a black cap, in the photobucket he appears to be wearing a white cap.
