Is not that a bookkeeping error, that can be corrected anytime during the game?

See 2.10.1J--if the referee makes the mistake- signals 3 when he shouldnt or fails to signal 3 when he should that is correctable and must be done in time. If i signal 3 and it is a 3 but the scorer only records 2 that can be corrected at any time before final score approved.

So, someone had to have evidence that the shooter's foot was "clearly" on the line and that the official "mistakenly" signaled a 3-point field goal. If that person was the calling official, or one of the official's partners, or the official scorekeeper, would that change the error into a bookkeeping error?

If the official scorekeeper is the only person that is telling me I was wrong in signalling 3 because the players foot was touching the line, I am not changing it. It is a 3.

If another official has information, he needs to blow his whistle and fix it within the CE time frame.

If I signal 3, and the scorekeeper only scores 2 points, this becomes a bookkeeping error that can be corrected at any time.

And 99% of the time, it will be whistled and corrected immediately. (at least here; I understand that some don't follow that procedure -- this isn't intended to invite debate on the merits of either procedure)
