Doug, my previous response regarding correctable errors ("don't have any") was only half serious. I do think that it's more important to prevent those situations than it is to correct them. Having said that, sometimes stuff happens. And when it happens, you are absolutely correct, the official needs to know what's correctable and what's not.
(You can just tell that there's a "but" coming here, can't you?
)
But. . .
I don't think that the situation you outline above is a correctable error. This is not a case of erroneously not counting a score. It's not an official's mistake. This falls under what most of us call a "bookkeeping" error, and can be corrected anytime it is detected up until the official's jurisdiction has ended.
If I'm wrong about that, I trust someone will correct me, but I would not count that situation as correctable under 2-10.
