This is correct, bookkeeping errors are not technical fouls. The team is responsible for providing the official scorer with their roster and starters. They are not responsible for transcribing that information from the list they give the scorer into the scorebook. In the OP, the team provided the scorer with a list of their roster. The player in dispute was on the roster they provided. It is the scorers fault, not the teams fault that that player was not listed in the scorebook. If the player in dispute was not on the roster provided to the scorer, than a technical foul would be assessed.
