Bob, I think that Parkss' point was that had the error not been made in the first place, only 2 free throws would have been shot and two would have missed, and 1 less point scored. The error may have cost a team the game. However, it is impossible to predict what would have occurred had you not originally awarded 3 free throws, or had the score been 1 lower for A afer completion of the free throws.

But Bob is correct in pointing out that the failure to correct the error after the fact had no impact on the score, only on the free throw average of the shooter.
