Following rules does not necessarily end in the most moral decision

I should make a clarification here. If my opponent misplays the 6-3 in this case, I don't care what my opponent wants - I will not want to take the victory no matter what. forcing players to play legally would allow my opponent to force me to take the win by virtue that I am on last roll after his error. I would have a guilty conscience if my opponent (even legally) tried to hand back the win to me for a victory I didn't deserve.

I'll ask this question - if a player were to make this 6-3 error and there were kibitzers present would any of them think "hmmm, that looks suspicious, was PlayerX throwing the match?". How many PlayerX's would admit to throwing a match? (probably not many) so in my opinion it comes to down to a human error. Any reasonable player playing to the best of their abilities would have won.

PlayerX in my case was a strong advanced player. He was not a novice.
