Better: When you point out a wrong note in the (Finale-generated) part and are told, "No, I checked the score, and it's the same note there."
Well, that is a bit more difficult, isn't it? Especially for new works for which there are no historical sources to check. It's one thing to find a wrong note in a modern engraving of a Mozart symphony, but it's a completely different thing to find a wrong note in a brand new work. Perhaps the composer wants that effect. If the score and the parts don't match, that's one thing. If the score and the parts DO match, it's different. Even better is going to check the manuscript and finding the same "wrong" notes there. Only checking with the composer can resolve that point.
