It also implies that the papers will not be regraded if the teachers convince the state that their answer key/scoring rubric is incorrect. How frequently do we find errors that they then allow changes? Often this is done during the grading process but not always.
The teachers will most assuredly go with the higher score and broader interpretation if in doubt.

I agree with Steve. Papers will only be scored once, and any re-scoring will only ensure that scores have been added correctly.
This absolutely means that teachers will choose to give the higher number if they're stuck between two choices.

I don't know what link you are referring, but the site that I went to as
directed by the memo does not have the rating guide for the June 2011 exams.
If there is such a link, could someone please send it to me.
As for the interpretation of the memo, I think it's quite clear. We must
give every student every benefit of every doubt as we're scoring, as there
will be no more rescoring of the 60-64 papers. I usually erred on the
side of the conservative thinking that I could always give him or her the
point later, if necessary. Now that philosophy will have to change.
