I can accept the possibility of human error, however it goes back to the whole issue of the difficulty of scoring this year. It's been problematic from the start and I hope that FIRST will work hard to improve a scoring method for whatever next year's game turns out to be.
The psychological effect was pretty darned significant. In a moment, we went from finalist with robot on the field and ready to a tied semi-finalist. It was a rude change.

That said, what was done was fair and right. Shocking as it was, I cannot complain about the outcome.

Congratulations to Galileo champions 1241, 610 & 1477. You earned this!
