In other words, the use of a 'count' in lieu of the clock is valid only if applied in real time? It can't be applied after the fact . . .

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but, the official can't (legally) say "that seemed like longer than 4 seconds" and wave off the basket.
An official other than the trail can have a count -- it's a good idea for at least one official to have a count. The officials can get together after the horn and discuss this -- if one official has a count and is sure the basket came after the period should have ended, that count can be used.

Would you say that the rules basis for cancelling a score is located in 5-10-2, in the word 'correction'?
If the referee determines that the clock was not started or stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official's count or other official information can be used to make a correction.
