That was also my thought on two hand reporting. On the high school and lower level games mistakes could easily be made as scorers aren't as experienced as college.

My experience has been that "lower level" scorekeepers don't have problems reading the official's signaled numbers, they have problems with paying attention. Either they're busy texting, chatting with the person running the clock, or heads down recording the foul before you get there to report it.
But when you report digits serially, with some scorekeepers I'm never really certain if they got that the foul was on white 14, or whether they might have given the foul to white 4, because they spaced off the first digit.
