The question that needs to be addressed is whether correcting the scorebook resulted in failure to award a merited free throw and if it did was the correctable error discovered in the defined time period.

Right - the foul can be changed at any point when the error is discovered. What cannot be changed after the "correctable error" time period is any free throw/scoring play resulting from that error.
