I say use 2.3 to fix this because this is not directly covered by rule.
Nowhere does the rule book say a T can't be rescinded in this case. The only reference to not rescinding a T is DURING a correctable error, if it involves unmerited free throws or free throws taken by the wrong shooter or at the wrong goal. This does not apply in this case. The T wasn't during a free throw but errorneously caused the free throws to be taken in the first place.
Please site the rule that says a T can't be rescinded.

Your only choice of rules to go back and correct prior activity is 2-10. 2-10 provides a finite list of correctable errors. Assessing fouls is not on that list. You cannot use 2-3 as your authority because correcting errors is a point specifically covered in the rules.
Beyond that, by your own admission, you can't wave off a T that occurred when there was a correctable error. So why then would it be acceptable to wave it off when there wasn't a correctable error? You defeated your own argument there.
