Because the way the law is written there are guidelines that specify the producer is able to review the violations of the law found by the inspector and be provided with an opportunity to cure such defects.
"At the conclusion of an inspection, the investigator may informally advise the producer of any apparent violations disclosed by the inspection. The producer may bring to the attention of the investigator any pertinent information regarding the records inspected or any other relevant matter".

For those who didn't grow up in a house with a lawyer:

---"the investigator MAY informally advise...." They don't have to, aren't required to, and will probably not bother to bring anything to your attention. The word "may" essentially means "if they feel like it."

---"The producer may bring to the attention of the investigator any pertinent information regarding the records inspected or any other relevant matter." It says nothing here about having an opportunity to correct anything. You can tell them anything you want, and they have to stand there and listen if you feel like talking, but none of this offers an opportunity to correct. In fact, it's quite reckless to even suggest that this passage has that meaning. Oh, by the way, anything you say to them can be used against you. A simple "I can fix that" on your part is an admission that you were not compliant and in itself can land you in jail.
