The problem is going back to the INDIVIDUAL SCORES. The home team RUNNING SCORES, the visiting team RUNNING SCORES and the Scoreboard need to match.

It is pretty darn rare that a mistake displayed on the bulbs goes unnoticed for more than say 10 seconds or so. Most scoreboards don't have individual points listed. Errors that are confirmed by "adding the individual scores" are far less accurate than confirming the above three scores (with the understanding that the home team RUNNING SCORES are the official score).
