His point is simple; if the discrepancy between the two is as vast as you suggest, switch them. I have never, ever, seen a situation that would require that, though.

And I would use the V book long before I'd consider overriding the book with information from the scoreboard.

Hence why it's important that both scorebooks be in constant communication throughout the game concerning who scored, the running score totals, & fouls. However that doesn't always happen even after persistent reminders.
