Applying this in this situation, since you noted the 6 team fouls and no change to 7 when you reported the new foul and the scorers response didnt seem right, you would have SLOWED DOWN and said to yourself: something doesnt seem right gone to the bench and asked questions and caught the error before it became a correctable error situation.

Similarly, I have been advised that when you have to ask a question of the table, frame it such that it requires a specific answer. In this situation rather than "are we in 1-1?" I am now in habit of asking "how many team fouls on B?". This eliminates the head nod/shake as an answer and requires scorer to look, count and answer specifically.
