When he repeats the number it's your job to write it in the book with *no* editiorial comment.

I'm not so sure of that. As Chuck has mentioned, the scorer is part of the officiating crew. As such, she does have an obligation to get it right. If she sees an obvious error in which player committed the foul, I think requesting the correct number is not out of line if done in the proper manner. I know I've reported the wrong number before.

Which is why I told her to buzz the official & get him to repeat the number.
The most *I'll* accept from the table is "Are you sure?" or of course "No such number in the book."
I will not accept a scorekeeper telling me to go verify the number with my partners or the players.
