Precision Cocked Dice

So last night at the chouette......

My opponent rolled a precision die onto its corner. Not an unusual occurrence. Dice are cocked... re-roll. However, in this case after 2 seconds, the die fell from its cocked position. There was movement in the room but no noticeable shaking of the table but who knows. So, is there a time period for cocked dice?

The tournament rules are no help:

4.2 VALID ROLLS. Both dice must leave the cup before either die contacts the board; otherwise they must be rerolled. Both dice must come to rest flat on the playing surface to the right of the bar; otherwise they are “cocked” and must be rerolled. In the event of dispute, a player who rerolls prior to receiving acknowledgment from his opponent that the dice are cocked will be at a disadvantage. Alternatively, players may roll legally by casting both dice simultaneously through a baffle box.

So, is there a grace time period for cocked dice?
