What happens if Hildago redlighted and they DQ'ed Jim for staging with a dial above the index even though it was an error by the tower? Then you have the possibility of both drivers being eliminated and a round 4 bye to the next opponent.
Someone else already explained it very well, it doesn't matter that someone entered it incorrectly it is ultimately the racer's responsibility to ensure their dial is correct before they stage.
