Guess that was my point.

I'm still confused, then. The OP didn't treat it as a CE.

A CE is a particular error that must be corrected within a specific period of time. An error does not have to be a CE in order to be corrected.

I think that's what confuses some people. If an error is not a "correctable error," they infer that the error is not correctable.

CE's are not even the only error that has an explicit time frame for correction: think about giving the ball to the wrong team for a throw-in.

+1

As I often explain it, "It's an error, and it is correctable, but it's not a Correctable Error." (caps intentional)

Do you guys ever listen to yourselves? If, five thousand years from now, an archaeologist discovers these statements in some cavern, they'll think that we're nuts.

There would be footnotes at the bottom of the translated text explaining how the passage ought to be interpreted, taking into account cultural context, etc etc.

Won't be a problem after Dec 21 of this year....

That is true. My point (though inadequately made) was that CEs are a specific set of errors that have a specific time frame in which they must be corrected.

Is correcting this error something we should be doing though? Some errors should be corrected if discovered later, e.g. a foul charged to the wrong player or a 3 counted as a 2 or vice versa. Some errors shouldn't be corrected if discovered later, e.g. a foul which wasn't a foul or a violation that wasn't a violation. Although, I sympathize with wanting to treat this as the former, it feels more like the latter to me.

If it's a warning which, by rule, shouldn't have been a warning, then fix it later -- treat it as a scorekeeper's error. Now, if there had been a second violation, and a T and FTs, it's too late to fix that.
