I bet this shouldn't be read literally. It must mean the score at the end of the fourth quarter. I can't imagine that it would only apply to a correction of a mistake that affects the score in of the fourth quarter.

If the referee is doing his job correctly, this should never happen! 2-5-7 The referee shall check and approve the score at the end of each half. Pay close attention to those duties of the referee!

I completely disagree.
It certainly is possible for the table to tell you one thing only to correct themselves at a later time. I know it has happened to me and I'm sure it's happened to others.
