This is not reviewable, but put yourself in the shoes of the RO. Would you correct it anyway since it is SO obvious? The R has nothing to lose since he's already getting a downgrade.
That's what I would've thought....quite a ways up field, but before all was said and done someone would have steered him in the right direction. One would think anyway.

We all make mistakes, but this one's a doozy.
