I'm playing devil's advocate here. Does the rule mean that only the referee can make a final decision to correct any timing error, or does it mean that only the referee can communicate that information to the table, or, to really push my devil's advocate point, does it mean that only the referee, not the timer, can physically touch the scoreboard controller, to change the time?
The last is absurd, but I do believe that the is wiggle room in there to allow the referee to make any final timing change decisions, and to allow the umpire to communicate that information to the table.
