While I agree it is very annoying that points get scored incorrectly I do feel the need to correct you here in saying that you lost the match because of it. LEt me elaborate on that:
1. A scale rewards an additional 10 points to the challenge thus making it a 20 point swing and not a 30 point swing. (You did get rewarded 5 points for your challenge which was the correct call)
2. Since you didn't succesfully scaled as stated before the "only" wrong dicision made was awarding the blue alliance 10 additional scaling point (which is odd indeed)

The final scores should have been Red 42 - 50 Blue which means you would still have lost that match.
So however I do agree it is a big issue that there are multiple occassions were points were scored incorrectly it is unfair to say that you lost because of it.
