The same way, one supposes, that they would have had they been called 
five minutes earlier, and the alleged OS had sworn to God that there 
was no BIT fifteen seconds ago.  They either believe them, or they 
don't.  Indeed, either the alleged OS is telling the truth, or they're 
not.  But the truth won't change during the five-minute interval, and, 
the ACBL presumably assumes, neither will the alleged OS's story.  ISTM 
they're probably right about that.
