Not "in meaning".   That's already taking one side in the dispute.
The Rambam says the BK should be corrected for *every* mistake, no matter
how trivial.  The Manhig says he should not be corrected, but there's a
dispute over whether he means ever, or only if the meaning is the same.
IIRC, the BY says he means ever but the halacha is not like him, while
the Rama says he means only if the meaning is the same and the halacha
*is* like him, and the Bach says he means ever and the halacha is *still*
like him.
