Common sense?
Although it may initially seem like common sense to correct this "scoring mistake" at any time, I think that it really is more common sense to leave it alone if you haven't corrected it in a timely manner.
Say you forget to count a 3, and 10 mins later you realize it and stop the game to correct it. What happens? The other team feels like they just got gyped for a point. The team that gets the point begins wondering what else you've been missing. The fans think you're out to lunch. And your partner(s) think you're not on top of things and wonder if they need to keep an eye on you.
Nah, correct it in a timely manner (per the rule) or let it go.
