And the person who made the mistake can move on to the next case.
Which is why a correction process needs someone responsible for following it through.
A mistaken investigation has a cost even when the file gets closed. That's what I'd want officials to account for.
Time, legal help, and the task of correcting a record all land on someone. Closing the file doesn't automatically undo that.
