How not to give any score?
I don't understand your question. When you pass, you give your
opinion of what the final score will be, or you choose not to give
this opinion. This allows games to end early if 2 players take the
shortcut of agreeing on the score without having to play it out.
John Tromp suggests the semantical simplification of viewing all
passes as coming with a default score whether the passer provides one
or not. The default score would be the current Tromp/Taylor territory
calculation.

"neither gives a score or" is superfluous if you rely on
the 4 pass rule, too.
How do you interpret correct scores or incorrect scores?
You don't interpret scores at all. The players can agree on a wrong
score if they want to.
If they don't agree, you use Tromp/Taylor territory calculations which
can be easily calculated without error by the human or computer
arbiter.
