Time Back on Clock

Can you explain why you wouldn't put time back on the clock of we're going to shoot the second with players on the line. I understand that in citing 2-10 the rule says you shouldn't put time back on.

My question is why.

You don't put time back on because you're not cancelling any action (scores,fouls,etc.) that might have occurred between the mistake and the time you correct it. You can't have it both ways. Make sense?
