I can't figure out what that means.

It means "After individually evaluating each of the categories of tasting
and adding them all up, the score I come up with seems lower than the
overall mouth experience would indicate, so I'm going to add a fudge
factor."

It's a fudge factor added to the final score when the cupper adds up 
the points and thinks, "It was better than that."

Cupper's Correction: This is newly adopted from the SCAA system (they
sometimes call it "Overall Points"). It allows the cupper to add points
to a score where the numbers do not adequately express how attractive a
cup truly is, or in the case when a light-bodied coffee or a low-acid
coffee is unfairly penalized for simply having the correct cup for it's
respective origin. Scoring a ZERO for Cupper's Correction is NOT a
penalty; it means that the other cupping numbers DID adequately express
the value of the cup.
