You're putting way too much credence on one mans anecdotal experience. If the trial came down to only this point and the defense needed to counter it, I'm sure they could have easily found their own expert supporting a longer hang-fire time.
It appears they didn't have to, so I think you can read into it that this expert testimony really didn't count for much in the context of everything else.
