Official Scoring question

There does seem to be a potential conflict in the scoring rules. "Mechanical slowness" cannot be ruled an error - this example is the logical extreme of the slowness rule. Does the SS get an error on this play?

Rbn3,

10.13: OBR
Note (1) Slow handling of the ball which does not involve mechanical misplay shall not be construed as an error
Note (3) Mental mistakes or misjudgements are not to be scored as errors unless specifically covered in the rules.
