If an operator notes an error during the contest and makes appropriate notes
to him/herself how could anyone possibly rationalize *not* permitting
corrections, even after the contest. I understand the impropriety of making
changes based on outside information, but from your own notes made at, or
shortly after, the time the error was detected??? I think not.
