I don't know, I wasn't around that early; I found this a while back when I was browsing through c.'s rule-history archive. Absent context, it could be interpreted either literally (as you describe) or following the presumed spirit (scores become what they would have been if the posted scores were correct at the time in question, or alternatively scores at the time in question are retroactively changed - which could be deemed to work if there's no anti-retroactivity clause blocking it).
