17.96 3BLD PB Ao12

The gen 3 stackmat giveth, and the gen 3 stackmat taketh away

On what would've been the 9th solve of this ao12, I got what would have been a 20.63 on 11 algs floated to 10, but the stackmat stopped at 0.001 seconds. Had not much choice but to delete the 0.001 and keep going.
I got a 15.97 on the next solve, 9 algs floated to 8. However, I had fully placed my hands on the stackmat to stop it at 14.85, but the stackmat didn't register it, for whatever reason. Old stackmat is bad, I guess.

I think procedurally, the correct thing to do here is disregard the 20.63 that was recorded as 0.001, and not retime the 15.97 as 14.85.

If I keep the 20.63 and 15.97, it's an 18.31 ao12.
If I keep the 20.63 and retime the 15.97 to 14.85, its an 18.27 ao12.
If I don't keep the 20.63, and keep the 15.97, its a 17.97 ao12 (this is what I'm going with).
If I don't keep the 20.63 and retime the 15.97 to 14.85, its a 17.92 ao12. (also, 17.85 ao12 without that pesky +2 lol)

Average memo: 7.65 seconds
Average exec: 10.13 seconds (counting the 14.85 timer hit on recorded 15.97 and no +2)
Average STPS: 8.88 ('' '')
Average algs w/o floating/LTCT: 9.875
Average algs w/ floating/LTCT: 9.125 (potentially 8.875)
