I didn't say they weren't shortening yellow times. I know for a fact that they do (or did, the "busts" cited in that article were responsible for thousands of tickets being thrown out and courts ordering engineers to restore timing).

My point was that the 2-seconds stated by the ABC team is not a possibility on solid-state controllers.

Only in the Nashville case is the claim made that the yellow time is shorter than 3 seconds. In the other cases it is above 3 but less than recommended timing, or not stated but less than recommended.
