I agree with all that. My point, though, without mixing up fruit - is that the scorebook, while labelled "official" is still merely a tool. The score is simply the number of runners who scored. If the book is wrong, fix the book. If what one side told the other was the score turns out to be incorrect, fix it. The score is THE SCORE.
