But a quick conference can yield a change even when a problem is not officially correctable. For instance, I incorrectly call the ball oob off of blue, a quick conference before the ball becomes live again can change that call. But it's not a correctable error. Once the ball is legally inbounded, that's it. The quick conference and the correctable error are two separate situations.

What's an example of a bad call that can't be corrected after the point at which a quick conference is no longer acceptable?

The ball becoming live again doesn't end the opportunity for the conference regarding a shot (2 vs. 3). Otherwise, you'd have to beat the other team getting the ball at their disposal.

The case about a ball going OOB remains "fixable" not until the ball becomes live (in the thrower's hands) but until the throwin has ended. You mention that but you also mentioned that the conference was before the ball became live.

Example of a bad call that can't be fixed at all:
Ref thinks Coach A is requesting a timeout (it was really someone in the stands). Ref blows the whistle and grants the timeout. Bad call...not correctable/fixable at any time (by rule...although most will do the right thing and not charge the timeout).
