If the order of events in the OP is precise, then yes, bad mechanics, you shouldn't say that, AND bad game situation info.

Unfortunately, the rule (and the direction given in clinics) doesn't say anything about "giving bad game situation info". The rule about rectifying situations where we have put a team in jeopardy has to do only with incorrect rule applications or changed calls.
